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

Princeton Record Exchange used to keep the expensive vinyl behind the
counter, only the jackets (which were in a poly bag, if memory serves) were
out in the stacks- if a customer was serious about a record, he/she would
grab the jacket and go to the counter to have a staff member pull the
record for inspection. Not sure going through the trouble of gloves is going
to get you to any better place. Just the process of re-sleeving can create
scratches, even if one doesn't touch the vinyl with a naked finger. Thus, for
the tres cher stuff, it may be better if you or your staff do the handling.
