Am I a grumpy old man and a problem customer ?

One of my local supermarkets has adopted a stupid (in my opinion) method of counting how many people enter the shop during this whole pandemic. They are demanding that every customer who enters must take a clothing peg which is drenched in disinfectant from a bucket at the entrance, carry it around the shop and hand it in at the exit again.
This is a modern supermarket with all the electronic bells, whistles and surveilance cameras etc. but their high tech method of counting customers is clothing pegs drenched in slicky liquid...:-)

Could they not come up with something better? Most of our shops use a device to keep track of the in and out

@Wraithorn This being 2020 has abosutelyno baring on this. Sgop being entitled brats who think ever store should have so many bells and whistles you no longer have to push your own cart.

They made a simple system to keep.track easily. They did their job. Get off the high horse.
