I've heard that over-use of antibacterial products creates a film that actually traps bacteria underneath, making it harder to wash away. Plain old soap, water, and proper technique works so much better. I also love being able to deglove properly, trapping lovely odiferous masses of spooge on the inside where they can't stink up the place.

This used to be normal so I ignored it but I guess my stomach is not used to being treated this way anymore. I was eating at a counter in the 60's and the cook went down the line using Black Flag ant and bug spray, I didn't even flinch.

I gave the gloved counter attendant my order and he made my sandwich. He took my money in his gloved hand, dropped a bill on the floor, and picked it up - all with the same gloves on. He then handed me my sandwich. <br /><br />Turning away from me, he yelled, "Next!" I said, "You need to change your gloves." He looked at me like I was crazy and proceeded to prepare the next customer's pastrami, while wearing the same gloves! <br /><br />I admit that I did not complain to the manager - trying to explain the problem was going to take more time and fortitude than I possessed. I merely vowed to never go back there again.
