I put on gloves (most shoppers do). Today, I noticed the checkout counters have plastic screens between the shopper and the cashier.
When I get back to the car I use sanitizer before driving, and wash my hands after putting away the groceries.
Damn. This is freaky. Going to the grocery store is now such an arduous ordeal.
