Not sure why that is scary.
You should expect that as the norm during any cold and flu season, unless you prefer to touch stuff people have had their gross hands on all day.
I carry the hand sanitizer in the truck. I squirt some on my hands when I get out. So, normal fly hygiene is not foreign to me.
But to have everyone lined up going into the store and having the cart handles wiped down by an employee? That was a first for me.
I found it unusual.
I don’t bother to clean the handle on a grocery cart. It cracks me up when I see people push their cart to the sanitizer station.
Every thing else in the srore is covered in germs. Don’t touch your face, wash your hands when you leave the store. Wash your face and hands when you get home. I even use a neti pot.
I would leave small kids at home if possible during flu season because they don’t keep their hands away from their faces.
I would like to wear gloves though because the skin on my fingers is cracked from psoriasis.
