    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!

  2. 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.

    God forbid you just washed your hands

    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

  10. 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.

  13. Bro, stand up for yourself. Make them order enough gloves for you.

    Why is every food establishment like this?!I’ve worked multiple places that only order one XL box, why??

  15. asteriods20

    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.
