He sprayed my hands and then asked me to put on two of those plastic bags used for produce. He had a roll of them…and everyone entering the store was asked to use them…gloves or not.
Inside, they had used tape to indicate a direction of flow with arrows…and every six feet there was a marker so that you could keep your distance.
I consider that to be a terrific move on the owner’s part. They were doing more than just the minimum.
Sounds smart. The store I went to had somebody to give you a freshly wiped cart on the way in, and the floors were marked at 6' intervals for check out. I wore mask and gloves. Did the outside of the gloves with sanitizer upon getting in the car, then carefully removed each item from the shopping bags, wiped the packaging with an alcohol wipe and set it into a clean cooler one by one, until the cooler was full, then resanitized the gloves and carried the stuff inside. The process repeated until everything was inside. Then all the bags were collected and hung in the far side of the garage to be left untouched for a few weeks. After which time they will become trash bags.
