"Even then, wearing masks and gloves might violate a store’s rules. A Trader Joe’s employee in New York, who requested anonymity, said workers at their store have been told they are not allowed to wear gloves at the registers. “They don’t want to alter the appearance of normalcy,” the worker told me through a Twitter account associated with a Trader Joe’s workers’ collective. (A spokesperson for Trader Joe’s denied this, saying in an email, “While the CDC does not recommend use of gloves in a retail setting, our Crew Members may choose to wear them.”)"

Well, not going to THAT chain anytime soon if I can't find things in town!

Perpetuating "Normalcy Bias"
Many grocery stores are offering 8 AM - 9 AM hours for the elderly,
and those with compromised immune system and cancer treatment.
Thus minimizing contact with the hoards of shoppers, and keeping 6 foot physical separation.

Same as the hospital staff above, stage a walkout and see how fast Trader Joe’s manager changes his mind. Even faster if a tv crew were to show up at his office.
