By Oregon law, all food work areas are a glove optional, it's up to individual places whether they use gloves or not.
It's ok to touch foods with bare hands if they have yet to be cooked. Ready to eat foods (already cooked or fresh food) must be handled with gloves.
As long as their hands are clean should it matter? Plus now they aren't touching chemicals on the gloves to your food.
