To be sure. Cross contamination has the same principles in both healthcare and food service. We’re just much more anal about it in healthcare.
I’d prefer not to see gloves at all if you’re not directly at a station. You’ll certainly get written up in a hospital if you start walking the halls while wearing gloves (since it means you didn’t wash your hands when you left the room). About the only grey area is during transport of a contact precaution patient.
Generally when I see someone wearing gloves doing something random(like eating their lunch or operating a cash register), all that goes through my mind is “they didn’t wash their hands and don’t plan to.”
