As soon as I put on gloves, this stopped. It's not foolproof but it absolutely will help to reduce spread. Regular handwashing too but she wasn't washing her hands between me and the person in front of me. Neither you, me, nor the checkout people, or anyone, will be able to 100% comply to every regulation, rule, or totally be 100% safe from passing anything on at all times. It’s about minimising risk at all times, doing the best you can, trying your best with the handwashing, social distancing, not snottering everywhere and discarding hankies etc. Shaking hands, touching your face, blah blah de blah. The last interaction I had before Costa closed was a prime example. I had the money for the coffee exactly right. On handing it over, the lassie gingerly accepted it and in cupped hands, quickly tipped the coins into the till. I said to her in a normal, having a conversation way ‘trying your best not to touch the coins? You must see hundreds of folk a day, etc’. Lassie replies ‘yeah, got do do everything you can, trying not to hold the coins much.... oh, do you have a Costa Card?’ Yeah, here you go. I hand over my card, she takes it, swipes it, hands me it back. No thought about the card being a stranger’s, what my hygiene practices were, where that card had been, or what might be on it. You can only do your best. The times where she touches a card, or you and I touch a surface, or whatever, will continue a hundred times a day. Unavoidable, unless we all lock ourselves in the bathroom for the next year. When you were doing your shopping, you may well have lifted up a product, checked the sell by date, decided ‘naw’, and put it back down. How many punters might have touched that same tin of spam before thinking ‘naw’. Are the employees who put stuff on the shelves in the first place100% clean of anything? I think the majority of people are now trying their best. Mentioned it previously, but I think it would improve things if the ex-Mayor of London could stop citizens of the worst affected place in the UK piling into cramped metal tubes every day hurtling around his capital city. The city where they need to turn an exhibition centre into a 4,000 bed hospital. I wouldn’t worry too much about the millions of times a day we have to briefly interact with the same tin of spam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The Scottish government is to give large subsidies to the fishing and seafood industries from the money that has been made available. Why does this relatively small sector always seem to get disproportionate assistance? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 In Charles' defence, he's not travelling to a second home here. It's probably their fourth or fifth I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does this relatively small sector always seem to get disproportionate assistance? Fish and seafood exports are worth about £1 billion each year, well over half the value of all of our food exports combined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
