well I saw a gal wearing one of those hooded clear rain coats, mask and glasses...with boots as well! A garbage bag would work! LOL.
All I can say is if it looks like too many people in the store go back later...or try another store. I actually went to a dollar store that had it’s own outside entrance at the mall. there was just myself and one other shopper and 2 clerks in there and full shelves...went about 3:00 in afternoon.
I can relate to your sense of possibly chickening out. I did that a week ago....but then went out the next day. Tuesday and Wednesday’s work best for the least shoppers in my area....But I’m in now for the long haul. Not going out again unless to just drive around so I don’t get cabin fever.
I actually found a pair of plastic gloves in my hair dye I I used at first....didn’t have to think about door handles or what I was touching and just pulled them inside out and chucked in the trash outside the store.
Do protect your hands for sure.
I’ve got some vinyl gloves from several years ago. They are nurses gloves for ladies though, hard to get them on my hands, but I can do it. I’m very thankful to have these.
