Publix

Okay whats the deal, today I decided to go to publix and get lunch. I thought, maybe a sub sounds good today. The worker behind the counter said, "may I help you." I gave my order and he put on those plastic disposable gloves. Hopefully this is not because they are afraid to touch the food.

But I think theoretically the people wear gloves so you don't have to worry about any of their germs spreading to your pastrami. It is a considerate thing to do, although you wonder if they started this policy because the entire deli staff tested positive for something. Are they trying to stop an outbreak. It's hard to say.

It is possible that Publix will one day take the next step and make their employees wear surgical masks. Again, on the one hand, that could be reassuring to the customers. After all, gloves are good, but they don't help if the man handling your sub has a drooling disorder.
