There's a lot of food services that don't require gloves. For instance Pizza. From start to finish no gloves.
Great point.
Penn Station is the best place to get subs ever I'm friends with the owner's son
Yeah, I went there for the first time today, and I really enjoyed it.
I work at Penn Station and our managers are very strict about gloves. If the GM isn’t there, the managers might forget to wear gloves, but we used tongs for the meat. We don’t touch it. We weigh the meat in a bowl, and cook it. They used to have it where we didn’t need to wear gloves but we have to now, mainly for cleanliness and the fact that customers will see, and possibly give a bad review.
As a current employee i agree😂
I worked at Penn station for 4 years. We never wore gloves unless making a non grilled sandwhich. We touched onions and mushrooms with hands but the meat was ALWAYS picked up with pinchers, never picked up raw meat with our hands
I worked at penn station here in Ohio for 3 years. The only time we handled food without gloves is BEFORE it went through the oven. And yeah it does kill all the bacteria. Nobody is touching the steak or chicken either. The only “uncooked meat” we would touch is the lunch meat.
I worked at Penn Station in Canal Winchester for over a year. Never put gloves on once. They taught us that before the sub goes into the oven, it is handled entirely without gloves. After it comes out of the oven we do not touch it
DopeSpaceCowboy same here
Sir just because you had a bad experience at one store dose npt mean all of our stores are like that
After getting later on in the video I would also like to tell you that EVERYTHING has to be washed and wiped down at least twice a day. Around 6:30 we do this thing called flipping and I've only worked at one food service franchise and I dont know if it's normal for all stores but flipping is taking any and everything that's in a container and taking out the contents and putting them into a new container. During the flip we have to take one set of the tools we use to wrap and wash them and then bring them back as soon as we can then taking the other set back and wash those then let then dry until after we close. I can also tell you that we do wash everything in hot water starting with one sink that's filled with soapy water then rinsed in hot water by itself then rinsed again in hot water that we put these little blue tablets into that aren't bleach but have the same affects of bleach. If nothing was wiped down or the floor was dirty then that's the specific store and doesnt speak for all locations.
We call that changeover
I work at Penn station. We only touch the food before it goes through the oven. After If makes the topping Station, you can’t touch it with your hands. Wearing gloves doesn’t make anything more sanitary, as you still touch money, floors, ect. We wash our hands continuously if you don’t like it stick to places that wear gloves to make you feel better even though it’s not better.
Jesse right
I work at penn station, we all wear gloves apart from one person who is allergic to the gloves we have. We sweep the line whenever we aren’t in a rush. We wash our hands whenever we take off our gloves. We wash our aprons weekly and get new ones monthly. We wipe down our tables when we aren’t in a rush. And we gotta wash our hands and put on new gloves if we touch our face. The only time we don’t wear gloves is if we run out and even then we’ll send someone to go but a few packs from Kroger. We get complaints all the time especially during rushes saying our store is dirty. We can’t do anything about that during a rush because usually we have 5 people working. Two on grill, one doing bread and taking order, one wrapping, and one cashing out and getting orders out. We try our best to be clean and penn station doesn’t deserve the cap you give us
you might as well never eat at any restaurant ever again. professional chefs don't wear gloves. Have you ever seen Gordon Ramsay wear gloves? He handles raw meat all the time. They are constantly washing their hands, it is pounded in their heads. I have watched this many many times.
+Stephanie Adams Ah, but you see, that's the thing. The employees handling my food were not washing their hands. And I'm sure Gordon Ramsay doesn't handle his phone, wipe his hands on his clothes, and handle already-cooked food with raw meat on his hands.
And I'm sure my experience was an isolated incident. But that doesn't mean they deserve any more of business.
Yep. Just had this very same experience. No hand washing after handling customers cash. DISGUSTING! They even argued with me and my fiance about it! Totally unacceptable!
This dude is just a germaphobe who cry’s on the Internet
I work there and the sandwiches are thrown through an oven and it kills all of the germs. Most of us wear gloves anyways. Also the only meats that we handle with gloves or without are the deli meats that are precooked already. The chicken and steak is raw and we have to use tongs for those.
I've seen some places where people wear the same gloves that handles money, raw meat, and cooked products. It completely defeat the purpose of gloves.
So cleanliness and food safety isn't about wearing gloves or not, it is about the procedure between handling different things.
If properly managed, it is cleaner to not use glove if you wash your hands in between every step. It may even prevent cross contamination depending on how and when you wash your hands.
I've been to sushi places where the sushi chefs doesn't use gloves at all and have a proud A health inspector rating and seen places where the worker wear gloves but people avoid for their own safety.
That's exactly what they teach you at Penn station I am a current employee and we wash our hands after every step. From order to mouth
Thomas Fleming i work here too even if we are handling chicken and steak (used with tongs) and deli meats (have to use gloved hands) we change gloves to avoid cross contamination
Most wash their hands in the back. The back is usually not visible to the customers and the only thing that’s really in the kitchen is cleaning products, dishes, and the sinks.
I am a manager at Penn Station and we wear gloves for the grill and when we put the sandwich in oven but we are not aloud to wear gloves when catching sandwiches, cashing people out or dressing/ wrapping sandwiches we use a flipper and tongs so we don't touch the food if someone does touch your sandwich with bare skin they are not doing it properly in almost all Penn stations except for certain counties/ states that don't require gloves
"Uncooked" the "uncooked" meat is like ham, Turkey, pepperoni, salami, and other meats like that, the only raw meat is chicken and steak. You also use tongs while handling both of those meats.
Places that handle customer's food that wear hats instead of hairnets bother me.
I'm a cashier and I don't like it when people don't put there produce in a little baggie. I don't wanna contaminate your food ma'am.
There is a restaurant called Which Which (they sell sandwiches) in LA. The first time I tried the food, I found a hair in my sandwich. The hair was a reddish colour... I have black hair.
I'm currently working at one and to keep it short if a sandwich is cold gloves are mandatory but if the sandwich is going to be grilled gloves seent required because any germs that could be on the meat are going to be killed off either when grilled or going through the oven. If you dont think it'll kill off any of the germs you can put your hand on the grill and you'll find out that your skin will be dead including the bacteria :)
PS if you asl nicely for employees to wear gloves they are required to do so, be sure to ask BEFORE they start weighing out your meat. If you ask halfway through we have to toss the whole thing and end up wasting food.
PPS I cannot speak for everyone at ever store in America but the only place my hands have been is the food and the hand sanitizer dispenser and I have the dried out skin to prove it.
I work at penn station and we don’t wear gloves yes, but we don’t touch the meat that often and we also wash our hands quite a bit. Whenever we’re handing food outside the oven we are using utensils to move it around and add stuff on as needed
I use to work at one in Ohio. I couldn’t find anywhere that taste better when I moved to Seattle or Alabama. Everytime I drive home to Ohio I always pick me up a 10mich artichoke with Mayo, onions and mushrooms 🙏.
I actually work at penn station now I'm 18 and our policy is that we half to wear gloves weighing out meat and sandwiches on grill and making the bread they dont require us to wear on wrapping the subs due to the fact we have utensils to wrap it up without touching it btw this is in Indiana
Having no hot water in a restaurant is one of the things that shuts you down immediately. I don’t know how they stayed open!!
Same thing happened to me, I asked the guy why he was not wearing gloves and he said they don't have to until it hits the heat oven and after that they just wrapped the paper around the sandwich, I said, Cancel my order and walked out ! No need to freak out, just walk out ! Worse is at JJ's when they are wearing gloves, sweeping the floor, and then put the broom down and ask what'll you have? I say, I'll have you put on new gloves before you touch my food and never go back there again. especially to the drive through window where you can't see what they are doing with their gloves on.
I'm sure there are others who would be as bothered. The lack of gloves wouldn't be a huge issue on their own - keeping hands clean and not handling other things until they'd been washed could be an alternative - but gloves make the situation easier. But...since when is _raw_ meat on a sub? Seriously, I've never heard of that...every meat I've seen on sandwiches is cooked first then sometimes "cooked" again to heat the sub, never raw in that part of the process. That in itself would change how big the bacteria issue would be, given the kind of problem raw meat can actually be and thay any temperature required to actually _cook_ meat would in fact kill bacteria.
The Penn station across from my house washes their hands as they take your order they have they’re own little deli and if you get there around closing time you can get free cookies that they bake everyday and they don’t like throwing them away I’ve been eating there 3 years I’ve ordered everything on the menu since same employees never gotten sick they have 5 stars and their lines are always out the door
Sorry about your bad experiance,I recently stopped at a Penn station,They dont seem to get much bussiness,for one they are in a bad location,no big signs,but heres what I didnt like.
I ordered a Ham with american cheese,mayo.
That isnt getting cooked.
I ordered a Reuben which was cooked.
And a med fry.
The frys looked good but then i noticed he stirred them up with the old ones and I never thought about it.
How they weren't really busy, when I got home.
My Rueben was fine.
But the Ham and American had pieces of cheese that had been exposed to are about inch of it.
And it was sticking out of the top of the sandwhich.
They would havw been smarter to just discard the exposed part of the cheese.
I never went to this one before.
And i said that to the manager,and she said I hope you have a good experiance.
Then she walked to the back and let them finish.
Its in my area,and I live in Ohio.
But It wasnt that great to really give it another try.
Jersey Mikes is just down the road.
Subway refrigerates the cold side.
Shame.I really liked the different types of sandwiches they had.
Bra, you don't understand how a Penn station works.
Virginia has similar laws requires glove use on all ready to eat food but does not require some types of preparation not to.
The wiping the hands on the phones and aprons however are violations.
Also, as long as foods reach a minimal internal temperature for a minimum amount of time based on the food the major bacteria concerns are destroyed
but I am sure Penn Station has some HAACP program.
I never worked for a chain, but when I worked for campus dining in college, we had to change our gloves and wash our hands all the time. You touch your hair or face? Change your gloves. You had to help at the register? Change your gloves. We weren't allowed to use our phones behind the line, but you break the rules and text? Change your gloves. My nails were always brittle, but at least I know I wasn't contaminating food!
Quit hating on Penn station it’s the best sub brand
Gloves are a scam. Unless you're CONSTANTLY changing them, they're no cleaner than freshly washed hands. If anything it gives you a false sense of cleanliness. Also you keep using the term "raw meat" deli meat is already cooked lol.
They do wash hands constantly. Often stores don't require employees to wear gloves because after the food is grilled it goes through a 375 degree oven which, yes it does sanitizes the food, then the last employee(s) to handle food don't touch anything without tongs of through paper. The health department checks the store every time some whiny person like you complains and they never find anything wrong.
So in conclusion, yes, yes you are insane.
I went to Penn station one time and the guy handle my fries with his bare hands I threw my fries and sandwich in the trash and Went somewhere else
From what I learned in food sanitation class you do need gloves for ready to eat foods but food you are still cooking you don't need gloves. You do need to constantly wash your hands and stay clean though. That being said I love Penn Station. Subs are great. It's sad you won't ever enjoy it.
Indeed
Congrats on hitting 30k subs, Travis!
At the penn that I work at you wear gloves at the cook station, bread station, and at the topping station if you are making a cold sandwich but if it’s not a cold one you have tings to use
I actually can't go to Jimmy John's anymore. My day job I work near a JJ and they always go to the bathroom without washing their hands. I asked them about it and they said that it didn't matter. Maybe it's just that one but I can't bring myself to eat there anymore.
What I really wanted to no was about the Toxic ingreasents.
What location bro
Thankfully we’ve changed how it all works- they use gloves now
Don't eat out. Because I hate to tell you, many places don't use them.
That's normal bro. Chill out. If they don't wash hands, take issue.
My dad owns 6 stores of penn station
I'm sorry but like yes the grill and the oven both will absolutely kill all the bacteria that is supposedly on the sandwich those things both are incredibly hot because he have to cook your food thoroughly so that it is actually cooked and not just warmed up
Plus we are required to wash our hands after we touch anything
I worked here before I guess the old boss didn’t care too much of the place because when the new boss arrived and bought the place, she fired everyone and started to stricken the place out. We had to wear gloves. People would stare me down while I make their sandwich😂 I don’t blame them, I do too. Who wouldn’t wanna wear gloves after dealing with raw meat?! It’s a lot easier to just throw the glove out and start again then to wipe constantly. Plus there’s a sink right behind the cooks lol.
Just ate penn station and everyone except the cashier wore gloves... I worked there almost ten years ago when I was in high school. We were required to wear gloves. It is not and has never been corporate policy to NOT wear them. Maybe don’t believe everything on the internet?
Karen level right here
I work at penn station. We have to wear gloves.!
The only places I've seen the staff handling food without gloves were McDonalds and Burgerking. Especialy while putting the patties on the buns. I found it a little odd, but usually I don't care too much. What is my immune system for anyway. ;)
They are around here in North Carolina. I ate there once it was nasty and never took pride in there work. I never ate there again.
Soy boy doesn't understand logic***
Fixed the title for you.
It does kill all the bacteria
I understand cleanliness but quality is still quality 👌 clean hands are essential not so much gloves. I still understand the meet thing. Raw chicken is fatal.
I work at penn station in bedford indiana we get yelled at by corporate if we wear gloves unless its a cold sondwhiches
I totally forgot you were in Ohio! Yeah Penn Station was started here and I think there may be a few in Pennsylvania but I don't think they expanded too far out of Ohio. There's one about 15 minutes from me and I eat there pretty frequently. I've never actually noticed they didn't use gloves. I'll definitely pay much more attention in the future. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! You're not crazy for thinking this is gross, I agree.
There's a few here in Indiana as well.
We are not allowed to wear gloves. Take that with the corporation not the individual stores.
Get over it Nancy. Gloves only became mainstream in the past couple of decades. Nobody used them from McDonald's to fine dining. Many still don't in closed kitchens. You shouldn't eat out if you're that freaked out.
They must think that the laws in their home state apply to every restaurant in the country which it doesn't. Or maybe that why they aren't over in in PDX. Hey even in Zootopia they have that rule. Lol
I think not wearing gloves is fine as long as you wash your hands after every different thing you do. Throwing away gloves every time you do something new seems wasteful to me, and as long as you have clean hands and utensils you shouldn't need the gloves at all.
In Minnesota you're not required to wear gloves while preparing food. Maybe it's the same in Ohio.
4forevergirl4 it is the same in Ohio and Indiana.
They don’t wear gloves bc they put the sandwiches in a hot oven.
Do you think a million dollar company wouldn't make sure it's safe......I work at penn station in Illinois and yes we do where gloves but other states might not but it is true after every sand which they wash there hands before they put it in the oven and it's put in the oven for a minute and 30 seconds on 475 degrees and I'm pretty sure there's never been hmmmmm law suits or anything against this, on top of the that, the health department sure would fix that if it was a issue but also don't knock penn station if you have such a big problem it's easy to say hey can you please wear gloves ......poof.....problem solve but oh well you miss out because penn station has some great yummy food
Wish their was some down in texas
where in ohio lol? i used to work at the work at the one on woodman in kettering ohio it was horrible but i think they have great food
at least at my penn station wearing gloves wasn't the problem it was changing your gloves. like it you were on the grill or cutting bread and then needed to take and order or if you went from touching chicken to beef
what if they scratched their private parts with gloves on?
come to the one in cuyahoga falls ohio very clean we use gloves and wash our hands!
that place is expensive..
nick harris no it’s not. You get so much meat and fresh food it’s worth it. $10 for a 12 inch sub is a deal
this is a lot of bullshit, penn station is an amazing company with excellent food and labor practices. This shill has no idea what he is talking about, and I'd be curious as to what sandwich he ordered and if he ate it or not.
Aye mf Penn station is good as fuck! and your not going to fucking die if someone handled UNCOOKED meat. Do you not handle uncooked meat before you cook yourself a burger at your own house...hmmm yeah think about that one.
Obviously you never worked in a kitchen !
Who’s dad is this
jus started at penn station kinda hate it
Lol this is my job
travis could you please check out my my doctor who episode 1 review please i think you would like it
Penn station is bomb. You get a dislike from me.
Obviously you’ve never gotten your food handlers and/ or TABC permit. Research properly before you talk trash about a phenomenal sub shop with their customers interest at top priority. I no longer work their I wish I did still but I promise you man. Their quality all day. Period. The oven kills off all of the germs. They follow every guideline. If you would have spoke up and said something I’m certain an employee and if not the employee most definitely the manager would have gladly remade your sub with gloves. The cold meat subs of course require gloves.
I ate a Penn Station Sub this week and I know the manager at my local Sub Shop and they scrub their hands when I walk in the door, if they don't, they know I will email the owner. They even slice my bread with a new knife from the kitchen. Plus, I informed them that I am OCD and have a weak immune system so they tell the cashier to stay on the money and the phone duty and the rest of the staff handles the food. I don't even see them scratch their heads when they whip up my sandwich. I too emailed and I also called the owner and strongly advised them to get gloves in the place. If they do start wearing gloves their sales will increase. Great Video! - Hunnee
Vasacce & Hunnee On The Block Do you have them put down a red carpet for you also ?
Yeap...It's the best thing ever! 😃
Ugh
Well, corporate will probably see this. They'll probably crack a few heads and up their sanitation game.
I never heard of Penn Station... maybe it's not popular in Los Angeles.
Spidery_Parker its only on the East Coast
Complain to that penn station, you have to wear gloves 24/7 everywhere else.
SplitHope not a penn bc it goes through a 475. Degree oven.
I've never seen gloves worn at any pizza place ever
National food safety standard. Gloves are required when touching ready to eat food.
Christopher Barnes Penn Station only touches food that is not ready to eat, they use tongs for ready to eat food.
Penn Station is disgusting. I've been to multiple and didn't even see a box of gloves, let alone people wearing them. And the food is terrible as well. D grade meat with tons of cross contamination. Absolutely foul.
Subway for win!!!
Logan DePino same :)
Subway supports Pedos. Penn Station saves souls.
You clearly don’t know what they do at subway
Yes!
