In reply to the discussion: I walked out of a convenience store last night (UPDATED) [View all]patphil
(6,150 posts)49. Walking out, and notifying the national chain is the best way to handle it.
They may be fear free, but they are also intelligence free.
They are risking their health and the health of their customers.
It's only a matter of time before the people who work in that store contract the virus, if they haven't already.
Non-protected customers will probably get the virus also, and the cycle of transmission continues.
At this point, I consider that kind of brainless response to the situation to be a sort of natural selection process. Unfortunately, innocent people are subject to their idiocy.
Hearing these kind of reports, and seeing unprotected people mixing with large numbers of other unprotected people in public places tells me the second wave will be ramping up in a month or so.
And so it continues.
