I often carp to anyone within spitting distance, “why are there only sausage and egg breakfast sandwiches in the frozen food? Why doesn’t anybody make a bacon and egg one?

Oregon is one of those places where gloves aren’t required for food handlers. I asked a few different people why, and got a variety of answers, but basically it seems to have had something to do with the worker’s rights – and their health being hampered by gloves. Occupational hazard, I’d say. The other nite… Continue reading Food Handling in Oregon
