That worked before the pandemic but now I put the plastic bags in clean cloth bags in the back of my car so nothing touches my counters except my clean cloth bags. It is similar to sterile technique. Maybe when this is over I will return to the old way, but not before.

Do you really need that many bags?
It’s thoughtless and lazy not to opt out when.
While we commend Florida for being pioneers and one of the few states to enact regulations, it’s nowhere near enough.

Just rub the plastic bag in your hands and it will open.

As a retired critical care & ER nurse, I am constantly educating people and most are quite gracious with my help.

Default Mask problems

I thought you were going to say it was someone who absolutely refused to wear a mask. Sounds like she just needs a friendly or not so friendly reminder.

If I get, I get it. But what I don’t want to do is to get it from someone who could avoid giving it to me by simply wearing a mask.

Horrible post. That’s why almost 200,000 Americans are dead. Me, myself and I.

I have been in many countries and seen and lived in places that when I got back to AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL, was tempted to kiss the ground! We all whine and complain at times, but life is just too short, enjoy n be happy! Finding fault with every little thing, just makes life miserable for you! We live in much better conditions than most of the world. Some places are just plain gross. It’s good here! Be friendly!!!

Agree. The deception is continuing.

Nice but my biggest problem is with them in the meat department at Sam's Club.

Lol!! Go to many places throughout the world, and I’m not talking about resorts! Maybe Haiti or some African cities. When you land in the great USA, you may be tempted to kiss the ground! As nasty as people think it is here, it’s NOTHING like a lot of the world! We are a nation of little whiny brats! Sometimes I complain also and am no better. However, when I think of where I have lived and worked. It’s a miracle that I was never sick! Please don’t let the little things bother you and rant n rave like a little out of control 5 year old. Life is too short! Be friendly n be happy!!!

I felt the same way after living in Manila for a year. I though things would be better there. When I hear people complaining about this country, I just shake my head.

You don't get it.... Wear a mask for hours on end you can't breathe... An most people need to work. Wear a mask while walking a mile or two see how much air you get. Need to stop believing what media is feeding you

While shopping, I keep a sanitizing wipe handy and rub my fingers together on it. Then I can open the bag.
