What's worse than masks are surgical gloves worn by people who prepare our food. That's far worse than not wearing them. Think about it. When you don't wear gloves, you're aware of whether or not you need to wash or disinfect your hands, and do so frequently. When you wear gloves, the most it will do for you is give you a false sense of security against germs. The reality is, however, that since you're not washing or disinfecting your gloved hand, you are now MUCH more likely to have germs on your hands when you are preparing people's food.
