Dollar General in Ashland a few days ago: Two cashiers, neither wearing masks. I ask the young man (looked to be about 18) if he had hand sanitizer for himself. Nope. I'm thinking about all the cash and items he's handled that day with no sanitizer. Then, in the midst of ringing up my food items, he wipes his nose with his hand. I ask him about all this and he says, "No worries, I'm young and healthy." You and I may read the newspaper and we may be up on basic COVID-19 facts, but I don't think that's a general rule. Dollar General has put up plexiglass screens at the registers, but what's the use of that if cashiers aren't trained to not wipe their noses with their hands and not provided with hand sanitizer?
Similar example: the wonderful people (I really mean that) who were giving out free masks in Plymouth last weekend were not observing social distancing. I had to close my car window hastily to prevent the guy from sticking his head in my car to talk to me.
