Experts say it may be time for grocery stores to ban customers from coming inside

29. Tell me about it ! ! !

Hi, I'm the Cashier of the Month at a grocery emporium. Big store.

And despite both the customers and me wearing face masks, me wearing latex gloves (changed every hour or so), the customers don't get it. First they browse while shopping instead of getting a list, getting their goods, and paying for them. Second, they linger both in the aisles and at the register. They bring their spouse or their friend or their adolescent child(ren) and talk to them in front of me. Like less than two feet in front of me. Or they just stand there and look at their phone. They stand six feet apart from other customers on line, but when they get to me, they stay two feet away. I have had to (deferentially and politely) ask them to literally move six feet away from me and you can't believe the surprised looks on their faces, like "Gee, I never thought of that."

Yeah, we have plexiglass, but the Virus is airborne and can go above and around the plexiglass. Any given customer's breath could kill me.

And how about this: Don't the customers fear that maybe I am asymptomatic and a carrier of the Virus? Why don't they use a modicum of healthy self-preservation?
