Scientists with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine swabbed customer checkout areas of multiple locations, along with handrails, door handles and keyboards and found that store self-checkout areas had the highest bacterial loads.

Oh please. Another fear mongering article to help further the snowflake cause. Live by this mantra "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" and your life will be fulfilling.
ReplyDeleteThat which does not kill me merely prolongs the inevitable.
DeleteThat's why I don't get sick often, and when I do it's mild. I used to be a germaphobe now I'm just short of licking doorknobs.
ReplyDeleteYa, we're dropping like flies from using those check stand robots...
ReplyDeleteI don't worry about germs at the self check-out, but I do keep an eye out for a moist booger on the credit/debit keypad. Hard, dry ones not so much.
ReplyDeleteLike the checkout clerks are maintaining a sterile environment, sure.
ReplyDeleteI'll file this under "well duh". Anything the general public touches regularly is going to be like that. Now do gas pump handles.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say this.. every so often they come out with this shocking expose on how germ ridden our world is. So wash your hands. don't lick door handles or shopping cart handles. that's why we have an immune system. our bodies are also full of germs.
Deletethat's why the par tests saying we had COVID were such bullshit.
Except Infantry. Infantry will kill you. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteHooah, 1SG.
DeleteChecks out.
DeleteThe study was done in England, so you can draw your own conclusions.
ReplyDeleteThe places with self-check that I use also have people cleaning the scanners and keypads periodically.
its those left-handed keypad users ( named aisha and Mohammed)?
DeleteI refuse to use them until I get a 10% discount for doing so. Otherwise the cashiers need to do their fucking job.
ReplyDeleteI work in EMS, so I am exposed to all kinds of crud daily and other than the Chi-Com Xi Flu in March 2020, nothing more than a short duration head cold.
This explains why the guy in the public restroom the other day had his candy bars laying on the floor right where every body's dribble would land. He was building antibodies.
ReplyDeleteSmart man.
Yuk. Big yuk.
DeleteYeah...as if self-checkout were to be abolished and all the traffic that shifts back over to live-checkers wouldn't be just as dirty.
ReplyDeletenaaa, that piece of plexiglass magically kills all them germs.
DeleteThere is a site called despair.com that parodies motivation posters. They used to have a poster: "What doesn't kill you simply postpones the inevitable"
ReplyDeleteHospitals are for the weak, or so my daughter says
ReplyDeleteIs she in your will?
DeleteDuring the height of the "pandemic" stores were so paranoid about being clean that someone would run up to the self check after every use and go nuts with disinfecting spray. Stores were disinfected so much they all smelled like hotels. I've noticed that isn't happening anymore. But I don't need to be told to wash my hands when I get home because I'm not a lazy retard and can manage the most basic hygiene. Even before 2020.
ReplyDeleteI don't really care for self check. It's like I'm an unpaid cashier.
