My roommate is a cook at a Motorcycle repair shop/restaurant and gift shop. He's a big guy with long hair.. he ALWAYS wears his hair in a ponytail and wears a ball cap which covers everything in the front and sides. I have extremely long hair and it drives me NUTS to have my hair loose when I'm in the kitchen. I'm an operating room nurse and wear hats and gloves at work all the time and wash my hands or use the hand gel everytime I touch anything. Guess it just carries over to home. We have gel everywhere and I make sure Todd has containers of it to take to work with him.
