I get customers who step fairly close to me lately, to ask a question or make a comment. Some of them are getting as close as most people normally do when nothing particular is going on. But it almost seems as though some are intentionally leaning closer than that. Like - if I have "my space" they're standing on the line between not being in it, and being in it. I want to think the best of them - that they're trying to demonstrate that me, being surrounded by people all day long and possibly a risk to their own health, is trustworthy and they will take their chances.
But honestly folks - and nothing personal - but - at this particular moment in life, I'm not too concerned about you being able to trust my germs (or lack thereof). If there are a lot of people in the aisle and we have to stand closer to converse without being run over by a shopping cart, I totally get it and have no problem with that. But if I'm standing at my uboat trying to get a box of glass jars off of it, keep an arm's length and don't box me in. That should be always, not just now. But especially now.
