Oh look here comes an idiot without a mask going the wrong way barrelling through passing people instead of waiting even though the aisles aren't wide enough for them to be six feet apart, and if I kick him in the stomach in self-defense when he comes close I'll probably be the one who goes to jail instead of the literal bioterrorist trying to kill as many people as possible, so I guess I'll have to pass this old lady in order to get out of the way. At least she has a mask on I guess.

It is in my state/county. A mask is required to enter any establishment.

Agreed. Let Karen scream herself out over it, oh well.

I don't think about it like that when Im at the store tho. I just focus on what I'm getting.

Also, Id put my money on working there being more stressful

I went earlier. Not only was the store crowded, and not only were there a lot of people not wearing masks, but one fat lady with a bad attitude kept yelling for the long line she was in to go faster.

Every business that doesn't enforce social distancing should be penalized and possibly closed.

And somehow this means I want the economy shutdown forever.

So all medical workers are sick then? Since masks only protect others when you are sick?

Do we need bouncers in every aisle? I work In a grocery store. People do as they please. Upsetting a customer who might make a scene isn't good for business either

Rules shouldn't exist if they aren't going to be enforced. Otherwise, it's just virtue signaling.

My job at my grocery store is checking people for masks. Some people get so goddamn snobby and rude about it. I've literally had a person hold his hand up to my face as he walked by, saying "NO. NO. stop. no. NO" because I was telling him he should be wearing a mask. People get PISSED over such a mild inconvenience. Homeless people and old people in general get the snottiest about it. On the other side, I've never once seen an east asian person try to come in my store without wearing a mask.

Oh and also I've seen guys come out of the bathroom after shitting without even washing their hands. Fucking gross.

Well you know the people who actually care will abide by them. Then there are people who actively detest them. My store isn't big like Walmart, Meijers, Kroeger. But it's a regional chain. A majority of our regulars are old or elderly.

I dunno, I think that's exactly the balance we're trying to find. Right now we're struggling to stay off the edges of triangle of everyone gets the virus vs all the grocery store go out of business and everyone starves vs competitive economics in the grocery industry collapsing, so depending on which way we're sliding, doing what's best for Kroger might be the thing to do afterall.

yeah I started wearing gloves too to stores since there's alot of people that touch things and don't buy them, and I'll see items in the wrong aisle presumably from people changing their mind on what they want and putting it back on the other side of the store, it's like wtf are you doing

Everytime i go to the store, i treat it like Supermarket Sweep. I pretend i only have 3 minutes to get everything, so i barrel down the aisles as fast as i can and jam my cart full with shit by the armfull. I dont give a fuck whos in the way, like the idiots trying to figure out the differences between ketchup and catsup. I just juke around them and get my shit and go. I dont even need a mask, because i move so fast the plague doesnt have time to get me.

My grocery store has been fantastic during this entire ordeal. Mandatory masks, separate entrances and exits, employees regularly telling others to stay 6 feet apart, and the best part is people seem to listen. Hannaford has nailed pandemic shopping.

Though I will also suggest going later at night, like an hour before they close. That's only if you are really worried, in my experience most people arrive earlier to try and beat the crowds, it's a lot easier to get there after the crowds leave. Any time from 6 PM on seems to be good shopping hours.

Again, why would all the grocery stores go out of business? Demand for essentials like groceries is not going away. They don't have competitors in this respect.

Grocery stores can choose to adopt good public-health practices or not. People generally are not going to choose to starve because they have to wear masks.
Well all the employees could be sick, for example.
