gloves to touch vinyl surface

Hi,
I'm in the quest of equipping my record store with gloves for walk-in customers visiting the record store. This hasn't been done at any locations I've seen so far, but quite a few Mint records after a while are full with customer finger prints. They will also protect covers as well.

I don't normally sell any record bellow Goldmine EX grade and don't really want it to be finger-printed or sometimes accidentally scratched by nails.

What will be the best material that would be quite thin? It also shouldn't inflict any additional static.

After a pair of gloves used by customer one drops it in the basket and at the end of day I'll laundry them. I have to order them via uniform store I guess with store logo. I also plan to sell those as well

And you may want to increase your liability coverage for the 'one off' customer who doesn't know they are alergic, until they try your gloves on.

If you asked me to put on gloves to check out a $5 record, I'd laugh at you.

Nor would I frequent a record shore where other patrons didn't know how to properly handle vinyl. Giving some idiot a glove and trusting him to slide the record in the sleeve properly is silly.

I go to a nice used record store, a lot, and the guys constantly Rome around, making sure it's done properly and offering education, not gloves, when necessary.
