First of all, I commend you for your conscientiousness.
Honestly, most of the stuff you've described is common in food service. Most customers would be absolutely shocked to find out what goes on behind closed doors. And most people think that if they dine in an upscale restaurant the rules are followed more closely - absolutely not true. Another common activity is food service workers substance using. RAMPANT!
I've worked in a funky old cafe for 11 years and for the most part, the staff is conscientious. But sometimes rules are broken. Here in California, the rule about wearing gloves recently became law...well, when I'm wrapping items to be sold I don't wear gloves. I never did before it was a law. I wash my hands a zillion times during my shift and I'm not going to start wearing gloves at this point.
I wish I had some wonderful advice for you. I don't. But I will say that the stuff you've described is not at all unusual in the food service industry. And the good thing is, not following the letter of the law very seldom affects anyone negatively. As for the cookie situation - what about leaving a note for the offenders?
