You will see similar behaviors in every place where large quantities of food are made. Gloves are NOT the norm for food handlers, head and beard coverings are not the norm and masks are not the norm. Places that require any of these are using local laws. All cooks need to wash their hands everywhere. Newspaper is commonly used to protect food from minimally cleaned areas though the print is not healthy. I have seen newspaper placed on the floor in Los Angeles restaurants and both vegetables and meat piled on top. 😮
