96. More masks at wal-mart

Tue Apr 14, 2020, 06:58 AM

Apr 2020

When I went to Kroger 3 weeks ago I was the only one with a mask. When I stopped by wal mart a week ago I saw about 25% of people wearing masks including wal-mart employees. I want to go to places with self scan so I can avoid interacting with a human cashier. Same thing, if if it non perishable it stays in the garage a few days. If it goes in the fridge, I wipe it down first. Then hand wash of course.
