I heard the restaurant man call in and mention that if someone complains he does infact go for customer satisfaction--on that note--what ever happened to holding ourselves to higher standards? IS the FDA the be-all-end-all answer to all our food issues? They have put their own foot in their mouth there--if the money isn't wet?? Ok, so their toilet handle isn't wet either, but I still want their gloves off and their hands washed before handling my food! And that is a health law (I hope) right? Restaurant owners/managers really need to teach employees the laws and what their individual practices are for two reasons--so that they know the laws AND so that they are taught valuable life lessons about seeking higher standards in life and not merely meeting the minimum requirements to just barely get by... Oh, if dry money doesn't show evidence of food contamination why not just save the earth a plastic glove and use the money to carry the ice cream cone to you, or the sandwich over to the plate and then put it in the drawer--it's safe right!?! the FDA said so! That's too ridiculus! If I were a restaurant manager, I wouldn't even allow employees to even repeat that it's legal! Craziness. Weslea,

Come on why must they tuck there cash under there boobs & yes have seen some dig there cash out of there under wear . And what about the cash that smells like peppermint Ky gel. I was thinking how the army handied off some blankits to the Indians that carried smallpox & think also about how the antrax that was spread after 911. I truly think the health dept. is full of crap to think cash is clean.I asked former concilman Stevenson what he thought about terrorist using cash to spread biological weapons & he said it would be horrorable (he taught science at Jefferson high school when I went). Personaly I'd have asked for my money back from the donut shop or tell them to put them where the sun don't shine....I rest my case.

It's disgusting to not and I can't believe the worker gave you a dirty look when you asked her to please change them. I like what Samantha said (11:51) - I agree with her. And, ok - so what if it's not a health department "rule" - if a customer asks you to do something (within reason)- do it. Asking for a change of gloves is SO reasonable. If the worker refused - or maybe even gave me a dirty look, I would walk out. You're paying them and those gloves are not that expensive!! Not to even mention that the workers hand sweats inside those gloves - EEWW. Greetings,

Wherever I have worked that has involved both food & money I have always had only one glove on for food and a bare hand for handling money. It's supposed to be that if you touch anything other than food then you have to wash your hands (this includes touching your face or hair, etc...) or change your gloves which we all know does not happen. I don't think that cleanliness is as enforced as it should be. I completely agree.

But you do/can get sick from hand to hand contact. Imagine this, you hand your money to the cashier, your hand touches their glove covered hand. Any germs that you may have on your hands, have now transferred to the gloves. Then the cashier reaches for that donut that you have requested..BAM we have transferred germs, for all of us to share!

Some of the employee's that work @ Charlie Riedels in Canandaigua and Victor do the same thing. Stop in sometime during their busy time and watch them. I noticed that most people don't even speak up but I do and you get a dirty looks from the girls. Don't know why? I totally agree.

I cannot believe that the health dept says there isn't any germs on money!! I don't know about you but the last time I held money in my hands I had a black residue left on my fingertips. It is disgusting. And if money doesn't have pours then how in the world do germs stay on non pourous surfaces to begin with? What would be the use for any antibacterial material if germs don't stick?? I agree with you, and I am totally disgusted to think that this happens on a daily basis!!
