What happened to hairnets or ponytails?

Granddaughter, waits tables, and tends bar and always wears her hair up and uses hair spray. Hair spray should cause hair to stick together and not drop into food or drinks. She takes a shower before leaving the house and is very good at cleanliness.

Does anyone else think long hair should be covered or pulled back when working with food? Actually, all hair. Everyone's hair is hanging around their face and over the frosting-yuck! No gloves.
Tonight I watched the Bakery Bunch for the first time and they were cleaning out their van and trying to identify old unknown food chunks and talking about how bad it was. Then swept it out with a mini-vac and placed this thousand(s?)dollar wedding cake (the baker's words)into the back part of the van without a box!! The baker then went back inside wearing the same apron she had worn to bake and clean in...ewww!
Call me old-fashioned but hairnets weren't just about being pretty :hunf: Does this bother anyone else?

I think on TV shows they don't wear them for the same reason that forensic people don't wear masks, surgical caps, etc. It's for show, no one is actually going to eat it. Even if they show them eating cake it's probably not the same one. DId you know that the food that's shown in advertising pictures and in commercials is usually frozen and PAINTED??? Even the shine that makes it look juicy is painted on. And if juice is dripping down it's colored, slightly thicken water.
I was at a Sonic one day and discovered a hair on my burger. There were 4 of us there. When I complained instead of refunding my money they gave me coupons for 4 free meals----yeah, like I'm going to eat there again!

I used to be a waitress and had to wear a hairnet over all my hair. Made me look silly but we all had to do it. Men too.
This isn't about hair, but I watch Iron Chef now and then. I've seen sweat drip off their foreheads or noses while they're leaning over the food. ICK
Or they taste the food with the same spoon again and again. ICK again.
