Its just chicken, deal with it

She's just messing with you. ... Right?

Actually in some cases, if your kitchen and shop are very very clean, it's allowed by the Health Department.

can we have the name of your workplace so we can call the health department?

Proud of you OP for sticking up for how you feel. Always put your safety first. Even when a boss is ignorant to health risks. In 9th grade my bio teacher said we'd be dissecting frogs soaked with formaldehyde and added, if you want gloves to use you have to bring them from home. ?

Ok, two things. First of all, it doesn't necessarily mean it's against some sort of health code, when you work at a restaurant you are required to wash your hands properla all the time but you don't always have to wera gloves. Second thing is, why were you grossed out? Don't tell me you never prepared chicken steak for dinner. I don't know about you but I cook chicken quite a lot at home and I never use gloves, I just wash my hands properly... Still sucks about the "touching yourself" part though :)

When she said yourself, you sure it was not her saying you she was thinking of touching... That would have been my first question

Remember, just imagine. Do NOT touch yourself while you do the chicken

ew, op that's not only unsanitary besides being disgusting, that's unhealthy too..hope you'll find a job that suits you better

It's not only unsanitary but also inappropriate to say what your boss told you.
