We visited Walgreens to have our latest Covid booster this morning, the one that protects against the latest variants (FLIRT and J-1). The manager checked us in at a register. I handed him forms, and he proceeded to lick his thumb repeatedly as he flipped through them.
I asked him to please not lick his thumb. I mean, REALLY? He was working behind the pharmacy desk, manages a place supposedly dedicated to helping us stay healthy, AND HE'S LICKING HIS FINGERS, GETTING HIS SPIT ON MY FORMS, AND HANDING THEM BACK OVER THE COUNTER TO ME?
I had already filled the forms online, but my form didn't submit when I clicked, so I'd printed it and took it with me along with a list of meds. He wanted to see both.
I can't think of a better way to spread Covid, RSV, or flu, other than licking peoples' faces. Employees should be trained better.

1) Did not know how to blow their nose. Still wiping their noses on a sleeve like toddlers .
2) Did not wash hands after blowing their nose.
The problem starts with the parents .
My kids were good handwashers from an early age .
I have to say, I am still gobsmacked that people had to be taught to wash their hands, what has America come too?
It’s so sad because we know at this time in history how diseases spread. If everyone practiced safe hygiene, fewer people would get sick. This is why I aspire to be a hermit.

However , I’m not surprised . I’ve seen alot of YUCK that proves many didn’t learn a thing from a pandemic .
I guess it was too much to ask for people’s gross habits to improve .
