So this just happened and I’m still baffled. I went to a chain “gourmet” burger place (by gourmet I mean not fast food, this is by no means a Michelin star rated place). I ordered a burger to go, it was slow as hell so I KNEW this was my burger. One female employee was training a younger male employee. He had gloves on and he was building my burger. I guess he did it wrong or something because she grabs the parts and fixes it, with her barehands and then wraps it. I think she realised because immediately after, she slapped on a pair of gloves.

In the sweetest, kindest voice I could muster, I explained the situation to the cashier and asked for it to be remade. The cashier explained it to her and I watched her roll her eyes and haphazardly slap some shit together. When she handed it to cashier, I heard her say in spanish, “tell that bitch I barely touched it at all” in a sarcastic tone. Needless to say, I won’t be going back over there again. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to not want my food touched in the middle of a global pandemic.
