Long story short I decided to stop and get a burrito at Chipotle on my way home this afternoon. After about 5 minutes in line I get to the front and order a burrito to go. The woman puts the tortilla in the tortilla heater. While my tortilla is being warmed a third woman comes out from the back. She already has gloves on her hands and goes to the hand sanitizer dispenser where she get a little mound of the stuff on her gloved palm and then rubs her gloved hands together once, maybe twice. Just enough to have decent sized gobs of sanitizer on both gloved hands. She then takes my tortilla out of the warmer with her hand, plops it down on the counter and asks me what I want on it. She touched it again with her other hand to straighten it out. I froze for a few seconds because I didn't want to make a stink but at the same time I didn't want to eat a burrito covered in Purell. I eventually got words out and asked if she put sanitizer on her gloves and then handled my tortilla. She kind of shrugged, looked over her shoulder towards the dispenser and then back at me. She didn't answer the question so I gave her the answer and let her know that she in fact did put sanitizer on her gloves and then grabbed my tortilla. At this point the other woman comes over and asks what's up. I tell her what happened and she tells the other woman to change her gloves. Then she asks me what I want on my burrito. I tell her I want a new tortilla because that one has Purell on it. Apparently she didn't understand what I was saying as she stood there and looked at me. I had the thought maybe this is what they do in this store? Put sanitizer on the gloves as to extend the use of the them? I can't get the thought out of my head about the tortilla tasting like sanitizer so I say just cancel the order and I walk out burritoless.
Did I overreact to the girl putting sanitizer on her gloves? Is this the way people do it now? Was there a change in glove/sanitizer protocols during the pandemic and I just missed it? Would you eat something if you saw someone handle your food wearing gloves covered in sanitizer? Keep in mind she would have had to eventually roll the burrito. I had a similar experience a few years back and started a thread about it where the guy grabbed the trash can and then touched my burrito but I can't find it. Thanks guys. I look forward to reading the comments.

(Walmart did NOT have slippers when we finally got there). Cracker Barrel had an HOUR wait. Which was surprising because the parking lot was not full. Most likely due to the lack of staff that most places around here are suffering from. We went to Quaker Steak a few weeks back and my son was convinced that we had to wait because of "state capacity restrictions". The waitress verified that the problem wasn't restrictions and was due to "Not being able to find people to work". Anyway, I digress.. Next we went to Perkins to see what their wait was. It was packed. There was a Bob Evans around the corner so we checked them out even though the last time we were there it sucked. They were also packed. Our last resort was Dunkin Donuts that was part of a local gas station. We pulled up to the parking lot and checked it out from the car. Looks like the dining room had open tables as only a couple had signs on them that said "Closed for distancing". We pulled the kids out of the car, grabbed the stupid bags and went inside. The girl behind the counter saw us and said, "Sorry! We are only open drive through only!" Now my wife is getting frustrated, but we pack the kids up in the car and get into the long as line for the drive through. When we finally get to the order speaker this is how it went...
All I know is my wife said "They have them at the Dunkin by us...." She is the person that can't just order a standard item off the menu. Everything is customized. She doesn't eat this, don't eat that.. Needs extra whatever, no bun (because THAT is healthier), etc. I've learned to expect it from her. We've been married a few years.
