This would drive me crazy too.
But be careful about instructing him not to wear gloves.
I sent a guy to Home Depot for 2, 2x10's. The guy gets a splinter in his palm loading them. Tries to get it out with a buck knife. Ends up going to the ER (not the toughest guy I've ever had working) and it turns into a comp case.
The first question the insurance company asks is "why wasn't he wearing gloves?:-?
I'd like to add a few personal thoughts, but will refrain out of respect for the forum.:smile:
Anyhow, dropping the gloves and tools on the ground and wasting time would be the beginning of the end for me.
