I stopped by today because I wanted to try your food, and I was looking forward to ordering. Unfortunately, I was very uncomfortable with what I observed before I even had a chance to eat.
The person serving the food was wearing gloves, but while I was looking at the menu, I noticed her repeatedly touching her face, nose, and hair while continuing to wear the same gloves. She even asked me if it was my first time visiting, and during that interaction, I noticed the same gloves were still being used after touching her face and hair.
I asked if she was going to change her gloves, because honestly, it really grossed me out. At that point, I decided to leave without ordering. I’m sure the food may be very good, and I was genuinely interested in trying it, but cleanliness and proper food-handling practices are extremely important to customers, especially here in the United States.
If gloves are being used, staff should understand that gloves need to be changed whenever they become contaminated or after touching their face, hair, or other potentially unclean surfaces. Wearing gloves does not automatically make food handling sanitary if the same gloves are being used for multiple activities.
I’m sharing this because I hope the owner or management will take it seriously and make sure everyone handling food understands basic food-safety practices. Small things like this can have a major impact on a customer’s confidence in a restaurant and, ultimately, on the success of the business.
I wanted to try your food, but unfortunately I left without eating. I’ll still give you four stars because I don’t want to judge the food based on an experience I didn’t actually have, but I strongly encourage management to address this issue with the staff.
