Oh yuk....This almost beats my encounter at D'angelos Subs when the woman
making my sub not only answered the phone, but, picked something out of her
teeth (with her gloves on) prior to going back to making my sandwich.
I'm not sure which upset me more....the fact that I had to wait for her to finish
her personal phone call or the extra tartar in my sub!
Gloves may make a good impression on the customer, but, only if they are used properly.

Good afternoon Mr. Watson,
I'm in the field, but by no means an expert
on this. I share your mindset though, especially after
seeing the cashier at the local Taco Bell handling my
dirty old money with these cool clear gloves on his hand -
and then proceed to handle the food with the same cool
gloves on!!! How much good could that possibly do.
(I'm assuming that these gloves aren't antibacterial with
super slick teflon coating to repel all possible contamination!!)
I'm not sure if this helps too much, but it might support
your view a little bit! Good Luck.
Sincerely,
Dave

Advice requested,
I'm sure this topic has been broached before, but I would like to solicit your opinions on the subject of using fingercots or gloves verses using bare hands when handling components or PCB's before soldering or conformal coating (IPC Class II). I tried to do a TechNet search on this, but it failed to go through for some reason.
I am of the opinion that careful handling of components or PCB's by their non-soldering surfaces with clean bare hands is the way to go. Of course, it is up to manufacturing personnel to keep their hands in a clean condition. From what I have seen, gloves just tend to soak up and disperse multiple contaminants on soldering surfaces and they give personnel a false sense of security. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the advice.
