The pool store is the same way but those boys are soaked in chlorine all day. I doubt much would live in there anyway. My only real exposure is Publix and I am careful there, not touching much, not touching my face, hosing myself down with disinfectant as soon as I get back to the car. They have a person right inside the door wiping down carts with bleach. I bet those babies rust up before this is all over. ;-) With the freezer, we've not had to go out much. Today I have to pick up a prescription at Walgreens and will use the poop bag trick. Although, they may bring it to the car. I am dealing with that just by washing my hands after I handle the packages and throw away the packaging. In the car I use my sanitizer liberally. Things like my ramp keys are getting a bath in denatured alcohol as soon as I get them. They can use a good scrubbing anyway. I carry a dispenser of Purell with me everywhere I go, and use it liberally. If I go into a store or shop, I spritz the door handle before I touch it. I was able to score a four bottle pack of 1200 ml each of Purell about 10 days ago off the "commercial account" site on Amazon. One of our local grocery stores, Harris Teeter, has someone at a table right inside the store to wipe off the handles on your shopping cart and a dispenser of sanitizer as you leave the store. The chain is doing a better job than Giant in trying to keep its shelves stocked. |

Too bad they aren't cute girls in bikinis. My Ace and the pool store do curb side delivery. |

Since none of the signatures look like a signature, why do some places still require signing? Good question. I've been using just initials for a long time. No one has questioned it. Nor do they compare it to the signature on my card - where it says 'Check ID', which no one does either. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

We stopped signing credit card transactions a year or two ago and some places before that. The reality is the transaction is done as soon as it gets the total and it has your card number/chip ID. At publix you can put your card in as soon as the first item rings up and it processes as soon as the cashier hits total. I don't even wait for the receipt most of the time. As soon as the printer starts, the transaction has gone through. ABC Liquors gives you the option of no receipt. (no signature and you can run the card while they are ringing you up. |
