Latex sanitary gloves can be deceiving.

I went to a sandwich shop today for a smoked turkey on sour dough and a bowl of soup and the guy at the cash register was wearing a dirty pair of latex sanitary gloves. After taking my order he went back and made my sandwich and dipped up the soup.
There were 2 others working behind the counter each wearing sanitary gloves and taking turns at the register, making sandwiches, dipping soup and wiping off tables.
This was late afternoon and it looked as though they put the gloves on when they first came to work this morning.
This may be a psychological thing, but are some folks fooled into thinking that just because someone wears a pair of surgical type sanitary gloves every thing is A-OK?

Ewwww! Did you eat the sandwich?

The Subway I go to has boxes of gloves and the sink out in plain view. Its always nice to see fresh gloves going on for each sandwich - but then we really don't know what goes on in the back room where they prep the ingredients. Probably for the best.

That's NASTY! The subway's I've been to always change their gloves for each sub. Even if the same person is getting more than one. I would talk to their management about the problem. People can get very sick from that sort of thing. I've worked in a doc's office and ambulance and seen many people get sick from unsanitary situations. It's not a pretty sight either!

I would complain to the manager, to the health department, and if it's a chain restaurant I would complain to the corporate office.

Was this at the Atlanta Bread Company?

There're no boxes of fresh gloves in this place.

It's pollen season here in the SE, the pollen capitol of the US, and everyone's sneezing, nose dripping, etc., including the cook's, out back in the kitchen.
