I am as concerned as anyone about limiting the spread of the coronavirus. I am a senior citizen with an underlying condition; contracting the virus could kill me. All restaurants in my area, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serve takeout only. In Every restaurant I have been to the servers are always wearing disposable gloves. I was appalled at what I saw at the Panera bread on the 17th St. causeway in Fort Lauderdale Florida. For my take-out order I got a muffin, banana, and a cup of coffee. When I saw the worker pick up a cop from the rim with bare hands I told him I don't want to coffee. He looked a little surprised and I told him "you are touching the cup with your hand, if I contract the virus it could kill me." He looked at me and said, "I haven't heard of servers wearing gloves." I responded, "every restaurant I have been to the servers are wearing gloves, if they don't I refuse to take their food." A second worker said, "if I wash my hands and put on gloves would that suffice"? I said yes, he PUT ON GLOVES then served me". He had gloves available and did not put them on until I complained. I suggest you instruct all your workers on proper food service in the middle of a pandemic.
