Then as said before there’s the gas station...those handles are a germ magnet. Then it’s the “oh, let’s get some worms” or “drat forgot I needed line” or “let’s stop and get some snacks”.

I live in rural Michigan “up north”, in our town the hardware stores voluntarily closed because those people that have cabins or summer homes up here and live in the southern hotspots came anyway, they went into the stores with the whole family to shop for things to brighten up the cabin. The hardware store had a huge sign telling people to just get what they NEEDED to no avail.
Now locals have to call the store tell them what we need and they will decide if it’s necessary or not.
