Just recently the hair nets became no more. I don't know if they'll be back or not. I sure hope so. If not they need to make a rule that people wear their hair in a bun. Because now we have everyone wearing hats with their hair in pony tails and dangling all over the place. I wonder how much hair is getting in the food?

Wait what?! How could or how come they took away the hair nets? Cause even at our store for those with longer hair, they still want you to actually wear a hair net underneath the hat. Although many still don't, cause it's not really enforced. But still to do away with the hair nets altogether?! I don't understand how that would really work as I thought those were mandatory and not an option. I mean what would happen if the health inspectors came in and saw no one with one.
There's only a couple people in my store who wear hats, just about everyone in the deli and bakery here just wears hairnets. There's no point in wearing a hat.
If by taking away hairnets is how they want to save money.....

i'm not surprised anymore.

I guess someone was wearing one and for some reason their head was in the oven (assuming Bakery, but don't know) and the hair net melted on their head. When they tried to pull it off some of the skin came off also. How or why some one would have their head in or near an oven long enough for the net to melt or catch fire, I don't know. Of course this is what I was told. I don't know the whole story.

I wear a hat, but my hair is in a tight bun. I just think it's crazy to have any lose hair dangling. I get wearing a hat and net so you don't touch the tops of your heads, but your hair falls out daily and if it's lose it's going to fall in the food your messing with.

You cant help stupid, if its hot enough to melt, its hot enough for the associate to kinda know they are in a OVEN! Technically the polyester in your clothing can melt and do the same thing to your skin.

We have up to 10 peeps(myself included) that wear hats in the deli/bakery combined. Which for some they are better covered than those that wear the hair nets and have their bangs hanging out. Or even of late, I've seen many just toss it on over their bun only and let the rest o the hair be free. So I can more than agree with you original poster about hair falling out into the food. It skeeves me out seeing my OWN hair in my food at times and know I keep my hair clean. But it's still really ew.

O_o. What in the world? Okay either those were the most cheaply made hair nets ever. Or something wasn't quite right, either with the bake, or something for anybody to be in a oven like that for so long. Oh snap, I hope they weren't someone with special needs. Maybe was in there too long trying to fiddle with the locking mechanism on the top of the bar and didn't realize it was melting on their head, but still....
I saw something about them eliminate all the different variety of hairnets, now I believe there is only one version (white).
I always thought it was the more netted style and the more opaque white ones. Only variations that we had were in size. And for a time we had more large ones than small. Which is some kind of crazy as the deli and bakery at my store is pre-dominated with female workers. And last time I checked nobody's head was that big to even fit the thing properly. Especially me since I got a hair cut a couple of months ago.
When you're eating out/fast food/deli food/whatever, you're consuming way worse things than hair. Bodily fluids, fecal matter, etc. Give me hair any day!

Have heard those reports on 20/20 as well. Mind you, they shouldn't be happening as often as we have to change our gloves and wash our hands consistently. But I know for some that is not always the case.

I guarantee you that you get none of my sweat, bodily fluids, etc when I'm in the Deli/Bakery. I wash my hands and change gloves so often that I need 2 boxes of medium size gloves, for myself, everyday. I wash my hands after every customer, after frying chicken, after each type of sandwich I make, after each salad I make, before and after I enter or leave the Deli/Bakery, after writing on a cake, after handing a cookie to a child, after wiping down slicers, after wiping down tables, after doing dishes, and sometimes after I just washed my hands I will wash them again. When I get off work I have to put lotion on my hands because I wash them so much that they get dry. That should be the case for any employee working in any food environment. If 20/20 witnessed this in restaurants, Deli's, Bakery's, etc those places should be closed down or the employees fired or retrained.

I thank you for being clean like that. People should really appreciate this.

TWO BOXES of gloves per day by just one employee...............well, there goes Kroger's profit. Not to mention so much time wasted putting on gloves, taking them off, putting on another pair, taking them off, another one, another one, etc, etc. etc
The solid truth is that Vinyl or Latex "Sanitary" gloves is an example of false security. Check up on this: European (EU) countries banned the use of gloves in restaurants 10 years ago. Several states have banned latex gloves, and vinyl gloves have plastics in them that slough off microscopic amounts of carcinigens into the food.
The key to REAL FOOD SAFETY is to WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN WITH SOAP AND WATER. Any truly knowledgeable health official will tell you the same thing. Plastic gloves are nothing but a hindrance and an expense and are not worth the hassle. HOT SOAPY WATER is much more effective. But all workers just have to be TRAINED to wash their hands often!!! And to change cutting boards, and avoid cross-contamination.
I will be happy when US companies and US government will finally come to their senses and wise up on the subject of plastic gloves. Have the incidents of bacteria, viruses, illnesses, being spread to customers went down in the last few years? I don't think so. If it has, I haven't heard. Every week I hear about a new 'plague' of some sort.
