I would definitely prefer free hands IF I also have access to hand sanitizer. I would be much more confident that I have successfully covered my entire hand in sanitizer than if I were to sanitize gloved hands.

I would admit that I would probably feel safer with a mask on though, despite the problems with wearing masks as well.

So you're going to use hand sanitizer a hundred times, on average every five minutes? Color me skeptical.

Maybe, maybe not, but I definitely wouldn't change gloves every five minutes. Squirting some hand sanitizer after every client in retail doesn't seem as onerous. And definitely if my nose itches, I would rather squirt some hand sanitizer, clean my hands, and scratch it; rather than take off my gloves, scratch my nose, than put on new gloves.

If you were wearing gloves you wouldn't need to change every five minutes. Alcohol-sanitizer fixation is not the route to public health.

I would have to change gloves every time I want to touch my face. And if I am to avoid spreading between customers, I would have to change my gloves after every customer (or wash/sanitize my hands).
