Gah, I always hate when managers are stingy with stuff like gloves, towels, etc. The reason we buy so many is because we need to use so many!

I don’t do the ordering at my restaurant, but I do the invoicing and XL gloves cost the same as all the other sizes, so it’s not even saving money.

Maybe don’t quit taking your arthritis medication, amd the gloves will fit?

Meanwhile we hardly get mediums so the XL gloves are falling off my hands as I toss salads

Here’s what’s just as bad. When someone comes in looking for a box of medium or large gloves and take your box of XL when they don’t even need that size!!! And they’ll say oh these are fine. No, no they’re not…because you don’t wear XL.

Oh man. I remember when Chris Darden did an AMA. It was like 28,000 replies asking him wtf he was thinking when he had OJ try on those crusty old gloves.
It was hilarious.

And then at my place, I can’t convince bossman to order all gloves for my tiny baby hands, so I look like a toddler trying on her dad’s work gloves with the larges he only gets.

When you’re in a rush and accidentally grab a medium sized glove someone left on your station and so you have to wear it on half your hand just to drop whatever it is that you needed
Also, I once grabbed large gloves bc it was all we had thinking it would be fine, my hands can’t possibly actually be so big that I can’t use them but my hands were literally dripping sweat out of the gloves lmao

It’s wild to me that people think medium sized gloves is a one size fits all type of thing
For me, I’ve got large hands and can mostly only fit Extra Large.
Ain’t no way my hands are fitting into mediums unless I use half a box just trying to get them on 🤦♂️

Right before the glove explodes leaving only a wrist band and pinky.

Better not have a single drop of moisture on your hands either or else them bear paws you call hands aren’t doing anything but shredding the gloves.

If it doesn’t fit, then you get paid to quit!

Hall naw. XL gloves should be the only gloves available. They fit everyone, I don’t care what any of you small handed fuckers say – they fit you just fine. Subways everywhere are ordering these and only these, so I think you are just fine wearing nitrile that are slightly bigger than your hand.
Bro, stand up for yourself. Make them order enough gloves for you.

I had this issue at a place I work before and I had to stash XLs all over. I had a place above the ceiling panel. A spot behind the service panel of the hood vent and a place under some boxes in the lift where there was storage.

Me every time I get the box of OJ’s from Sysco

My restaurant gets nothing but XL and my tiny hands just hope we can get a medium, makes it hard to cut anything.

Same. I find wet hands make it easier to
