    Minimum wage workers doing mind numbing factory work also do dumb shit wearing gloves like scratch their face or tie their shoes, regularly.

      Yeah but… remove your gloves before leaving shop floor, put on gloves when entering shop floor is much easier to enforce than “did you wash your hands” - you can catch them blue handed (or not blue handed, as the case may be).

        If they glove up then scratch their face, those gloves are now contaminated.

        Gloves are only good practice if you can lay in all the surrounding good practices and if you can do that then you can probably sort out good hand washing practice and the real world difference outside of a clean room or surgical theater is pretty much negligible.
