Many grocery stores have disinfectant wipes at entry points. I use them.

How disgusting. People need to take their wipes and use them before handling a cart. One of our local grocers provides them at the entrance, and I always use them.

So I guess now instead of just bringing our own bags, we have to bring our own cart too?

The major grocery stores in our area have wipes freely available where you pick up your cart.

That being said, the rule at our house has always been to wash your hands as soon as you get home from the store BEFORE your put the food away.

It’s amazing I survived being a grocery store clerk at the A&P in my youth.

Many grocery stores where I live have empty disinfectant wipe dispensers at entry points.

Ugh, I have to go to the store...and to top it off it’s one of those stores you bring your reusable bags or stick groceries in empty boxes from the shelf that can be bug infested.

That’s a hard and fast rule here, too.

And if you’re going to use the reusable shopping bags, wash them often.

Studies show those things get nasty.

well it may seem heartless to say but .....

Here in Key West the cart likely held all of sseveral homeless persons' possessions within the past 30 days

Do you think that could be an issue?

What next mandatory cart washes after each use?

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop taking a massive dump in my shopping cart.

In all seriousness, kids should be banned from riding in the carts. I don’t care where mama puts her brood, but don’t plot their poopy behinds in my grocery cart.
