29. I went to my Target today to pick up an online order. OMG!!!!

May 2020

Because I ordered on a computer instead of in the app, I had to go to guest services to pick up my order rather than get curb side delivery.

Here's my rough estimate.

Target employees: Half masked
Target shoppers: A third masked

Masked Target employees with their mask pulled down below their nose: About a third
Masked Target shoppers with their mask pulled down below their nose: About a quarter

The employee who got my bags from the back was unmasked. Instead of leaving them on a counter for me to pick up, she came out from the back and walked right up to hand them to me with no more than maybe eighteen inches separating our faces. Happened too fast for me to back up.

There would have been too many to say anything to if I was in the mood. I was so gobsmacked by the stupidity, I just wanted to get the hell out of there.

Not worth it. I'm going online shopping exclusively. Too many covidiots in my town.
