The pandemic has
caused much sickness and confusion. I needed to do some research for my valued
readers.
Doctor’s warning
Before I got started, my doctor warned me that visiting a
large retail store can be very dangerous for me because I have 5 of the top 6 preexisting
conditions. Thank god I’m not pregnant.
Visit store
Shopping at large retailers still remains a major concern
for the American people. So off I went to the local large retailer.
Safety measures - The
visit started off in the right direction.
They had an employee working at each entrance controlling
the customer count.
Another employee was disinfecting carts and supplying
hand sanitizers.
They had even started one-way traffic through the 16 isles
of frozen food and packaged products.
The store spokesman
had posted the new Retailer’s shopping process.
We are closing store overnight
for cleanings and restocking.
We
are installing sneeze
guards and social distance markers in stores.
We
are beginning temperature checks of employees.
We
are starting to make
gloves and masks available to associates who want them.
Problems – Then I started
my research of personal safety.
The first thing on my list was the use of masks.
I
observed about 20 employees and 100+ customers. Here’s what I found.
1
– Employee fully masked with plastic gloves – the checkout clerk looked like
she was ready for surgery
1
– Employee partially masked – mask band was over one ear with the mask dangling
down
6
– Deli personal were wearing plastic gloves and caps – no masks
In
addition, less than one in twenty customers were wearing masks.
Limited purchases
Toilet paper was still being rationed at one package per
customer.
The store had added: eggs – bags of ice – hair coloring -
other items to the limited list.
What’s next?
A spokesman said
Jack Daniels is next on their list because of the increase in demand.
