Can you just imagine the time it would take bar patrons to get a drink, or waiters bringing drinks to tables?  Obviously Anchorage lawmakers haven't.  Are rates of Food borne illness from bartenders making a drink that excessive?  They just must know better than the rest of us.  Your post is a great example of "unintended consequences" in every single government intervention and why it just doesn't work.  Added costs of gloves will be passed to the consumer-- the lost revenue from the added wait time will be shouldered by the business.  All in the name of government thinking they're helping.
