Drive throughs - NO GLOVES, I WANT YOU TO WEAR GLOVES. Any other color I came across wears gloves/masks or something as I get my coffee.
And they're all outside thinking nothing is happening. SMH.
The same thing happened to me when I picked up some fast food the other day. At first window a lady took my card, gave it back to me with a receipt with bare hands like there was no coronavirus. Goes to another window, a couple of female workers just hanging out talking like there is no coronavirus going around. No gloves, no minimum contact, nothing. Just a regular transaction. I figured I'd get some food to help the economy a little bit, but not to sacrifice my health (over freaking fast food no less). Heck wear freaking gloves if you're dealing with food with or without coronavirus going around!
There are some places, that I heard/read, you can use apps to order on your phone and pick up your stuff with minimum contact with their workers though. So that's the way to go I guess.
I'm from a country which does not do much testing, or that strict of social distancing, but most of people have very strong discipline and common sense. We barely have 1,000 cases as of today. You can doubt that number due to little testing, but our healthcare system surely isn't overloaded and people aren't dying left to right like some other countries. Wear masks, stay the phuck away from each other, don't talk into someone's face, don't talk loud in public, that kinda simple stuff goes a long way.
I have learnt to hug, for the first time, in my early twenties from Western people. lmao true story. we don't even shake hands very much normally.
Very odd iggs, I thought being in the customer service department, of any stature, you MUST wear gloves/masks or one of each atleast when dealing with customers on a daily with this chaos going on now. I legit thought about complaining LOL Not even to the slightest I'd thought to stoop that low, but man you never know. Lysol'd my whole damn cup head to ass on that when I returned home.
The #'s are growing here each day (well province wise, not city wise) by the 100s. And thats just speculation for the ones who are getting tested and god knows for the ones who havent been.
I dont really use those kinda apps tbh, because I buy pretty minimal If I grab something on the go. But for coffee, that isnt do-able.
I think social distancing/isolation is vital but It wont last... unfortunately people will feel imprisoned and depressed and the chain will easily break any given time. You can tame animals in captivity, but not us when we're use to such luxuries/freedom as it is, pandemic or not. The only way I can see it if military was involved and actual charges been written up for not abiding the distancing.
Hugs should be a 10 year prison sentence now SMH
