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...:-)

A clothing peg ? God it’s all trial and error in every country right now isn’t it. Nobody actually has a clue on how it will all eventually play out. It’s all just take each day and think of this method or that solution.

Sorry your experience is so muddling or stressful for you.

Don’t lose heart 💖

@SW-User Thanks, I appreciate it. Yes, things are all twilight zone'ish aren't they ?

Yep indeed. I was thinking of Black Mirror earlier.... bizarre times were living in. That’s why a sense of humour and thoughtfulness/common curtesy go a long way in this situation.
