Forget the mask. How about the “distancing” even when it’s NOT the distance?

I just had an end to a frustrating day. I wear masks AND gloves even to the store. The store is now trying to direct people how to walk etc. except they don’t actually police it. People are going the “wrong way” all the time.

But God forbid we break their red line at the check-out.

I’m irritated in general and just wanted to start loading the belt AT THE END while the earlier customer is finishing and ready to leave. But because the red line (which tells us “6 ft”) is behind the entire belt area, I’m told again I need to stand at the red line.

It’s well beyond 6 ft...more like 11...and I again protest that. “How do you know”...”because I AM 6 ft and if I lie down I won’t come close to touching you even at the end of the counter.”.

So I’m just irritably goingin off on this.

Cashier even asks would I want the next person breathing on my groceries...good point but still doesn’t take into account the 6ft idea which is pushed everywhere. And what about the fact we’re all in masks? Never mind my gloves?

I haven’t been anywhere other than walking my dog. People in general piss me off so it’s a good thing I’m home and happy.
