   Misstika replied to Misstika's topic in Safety

   The person came to our facility from the hospital in question. When a psych eval is needed and they are not equipped to do so, the patient can't be sent to a hospital who can? He really needed it because what he done endangered another resident. I wa...

   You wore them because you had a cut. Thats a very good reason to wear them. I've worked retail in the past. I did not wear gloves. I guess I should of chosen better words. I stated somewhat.....that don't mean the sight of a cashier wearing gloves ju...

   ? That's a logical reason. It's funny that everyone thinks it really offends me. I just find it somewhat unprofessional.

    I can understand wearing gloves for handling raw meat, leaking packages....etc. Overall I think its unnecessary. I mainly was saying the amount of time the gloves are worn is the issue.

    I know its an assumption. They refuse to say why, as if its a top secret reason. I know for a fact its not to cover up tattoos. Its the best logical answer. I said somewhat offended. As a customer, I just don't think the gloves are necessary. It's no...
