From the farm to the grocery store, I think many people handled the zucchini. I would have continued on with my shopping and come back when she was done and then washed the zucchini along with everything else that I brought home. No need to say rude things to other shoppers, even if she was slower than you preferred. Patience is a virtue.

After her first reply ...

After her first reply, I would have "violated" the 6 ft nonsense and just moved in to get what I wanted. If she wants to maintain 6 ft of distance, she can move away. And I wash ALL my fruits and vegetables with soap / water and a dish brush ... just like washing hands. The soap will break down the outer fatty layer of any virus that may be present and render it harmless. |

Sounds like common sense not to touch everything especially in these times, except for the gloves. Once you touch your nose or mouth with your gloves on (and inevitably you will) they too will be contaminated. Best to wash you fruits and veggies when you get home.

Veggies/Fruit
I had been very lax about fruit & veggies cleaning before this pandemic. I have changed my habits as we need these for our health. Never paid attention to the recommendations before this, now we are washing them BIG TIME.

Totally agree with you. My hubby and I were in Fresh Market waiting on the meat line when we saw a woman do the same thing and she did it for everything!

Such hateful comments on BOTH sides. I hope it is due to the stress of the virus has put on us all. We have left TV after 15 years to much more pleasant grounds and are much happier being around compassionate friendly people. We have found that people react to others as others react to them. When you are consistently around nice people, you become much nicer yourself.

I agree with what you did! That shopper had no right to handle every zucchini like that in the midst of a contagious virus outbreak. It’s bad enough doing it in “normal” times.

Your response to this women was not out of line. Her food handling manners needs improving.
Thank you for addressing her behavior in public grocery shopping. |

courtesy
I'm sorry but I am one that likes to check things before I buy but I do try to be courteous. It isn't my prerogative to check every item in the category I am looking at but enough is enough. If I am looking at something and I see someone else is waiting I and I want to be very picky I will say sorry and let that person in. They shouldn't have to be put out cause I am a fussy budget. To go on to something else and come back, no thank you. That's how I forget to get the item not to mention there may be someone else there by then. During these times if I am gonna be very fussy about my fruits and vegetables I will use a plastic egg bag to check the item. I know it isn't as sanitary and does move the virus from one item to another but at least it didn't start with me. If both of the ladies had masks on and the one was taking all the time in the world, I would have moved in and done my things. I believe in part that's masks are to be worn when six feet cannot be observed. I will respect other people's concerns but there comes a time when enough is enough and others too should have respect. It takes longer to do the things we want to because of social distancing and yes many of us have that time but why should we have to waste because of someone like that. Get your stuff and move on. You want to take forever, fine but I'm not waiting forever. I will move in and do my thing. Slapping a person into isle seven, I like that.
