siphersaysstuff: kyraneko: whetstonefires: trveroman: saint-ambrosef: sapphicconservative: I’m a cashier and the plexiglass shield has baffled me sense the beginning. We’re still exchanging money with one another that can easily transfer covid-19 and we’re already required by law to wear face masks. The glass makes it hard for me to easily scan items and has served more so as an inconvenience than a good protector. To me, it’s a case of “good intentions, but had execution” pretty much every visible protection is about placebo. masks, plexiglass shields, schools staggering class days, it’s all about making people feel safe but they don’t do shit. Pretty sure the plexiglass is for the worker’s sake, not ours, boys. We may only interact with them once, but they have go through entire shifts dealing with dozens, if not hundreds, of people who may or may not be infected. They’re ina riskier position than most, and this is for their benefit. Yeah, what if someone comes through checkout not wearing a mask, like an asshole? What if someone sneezes?The masks are ABSOLUTELY not placebos, they reduce your germ cloud to a small percentage of what it would otherwise be. Don’t put that shit out there.Also the potential virus on the clerk’s hands is a way smaller amount than what’s going to be coming out in their breath, if they’re infected, by reason of the virus lives inside you not on the surface of your body. And by the time you get home a large percentage of any microbes will have died of exposure. As opposed to the ones in their breath on your face, which is definitely still live.This isn’t magic pollution, guys. Just because it’s invisible doesn’t mean it’s not following physical laws. Also, since I’ve seen it complained about, the plastic they tape over the touchscreen or the number pad or what-have-you at the checkout? Not to replace the surface everyone touches with a different surface that everyone touches, but because the plastic handles being sanitized a lot better than the touchscreen does, and is cheaper to replace if repeated sanitation degrades it. ALSO, ya’ll don’t clean or quarantine what you buy at any store where literally any yutz can handle the products you’re buying? Do you think the cashiers are the ONLY other person to touch that bottle of shampoo today? Or breathe all over it with their mask at chin level? We wipe down any packaging for stuff that needs refrigeration as soon as it gets home. Stuff that doesn’t need it (and we don’t need immediately) can sit in a plastic bin for a couple days. We even got a little dry-erase board to mark the days when the stuff went in. And cram that “masks are a placebo” right up your ass so far you can taste it. -- source link
