Hygiene Issue

I was at Parkway Parade Foodcourt this evening having dinner with a couple of friends. What I saw made me think twice about ordering food from a particular stall again.

Although it's not right but I always feel that gloves used by the food vendors are for themselves rather than for the customers that they serve. It happened again today. I ordered "Fried DongFen". The food handler at the stall used his left hand which was protected by gloves to take the raw dongfen from a container. When he can't take all in one hand, he used his right hand (which has no glove) to hold them and put into the bowl. It just doesn't make sense.

I've also seen on another occassion in another eating place that a lady took raw noodles using her gloved hand, then using the same hands to collect money from the customers. It seems that the gloves were used to protect her hands from getting dirty and not for our sake!
