Is it a robot or a rawbot?

How do we know that the gloves are clean? Is each pair going to be hermetically sealed? What about the factory where the gloves are made? They probably come from China.

I would think CA would have had a law in place about that already since they have a law for everything else. Oh, I forgot, it’s CA.

Doubt they would follow this. I just came from the fabric district and they gave us plastic bags, not paper.

Maybe someone will invent a sushi making robot and then nobody will need to touch the sushi.

Someone still has to clean the robot. Having cleaned a few Hobarts in my younger days, I can tell you that there are some scuzzy food preparation machines in the commercial & institutional kitchens of the country.

An understanding of the necessity of cleanliness and an individual commitment to that by everyone of the kitchen & wait staff would be far more effective that a hundred new regulations.

Bureaucrats & lawyers either are ignorant of this fact or deliberately choose to ignore it.

Sushi bars charging at least $20 per piece will be exempt as ‘performance art’.

Gloves offer a false sense of security.

This.

You are absolutely correct.

The best way to break nanny state control freaks of this false sense of security is to put on a pair of food handling gloves and obviously pick your nose while wearing them.

Most people would rather have correctly washed clean hands touching their food if they think about it for any length of time.

In the kitchens that I managed, I checked fingernails daily and would fire someone for not washing their hands properly.
