Had to punch out 30 minutes for my lunch. Accidentally left my mask in the office and the one in the car finally broke. Had to use the restroom really badly. Goodwill was right across the street, has a public restroom, and allows customers without masks.
Big mistake.
I had to stand behind a family of 6 (four kids) while they all got their temperatures checked and people were waiting to enter behind me so I couldn't wait for things to air out before I stepped right where all six were two seconds before me to get my own temp checked. I proceeded to the restroom and they still don't have paper towels or any way to open the door without grabbing a handle with your freshly-washed hands (no elbows on this one). I tried to use my shirt but it didn't work out.
Anyway, they were PACKED. Like, busier than I have ever seen them. As I made my way back through the store to leave I kept having stop and wait for room. At least three times I heard a clearly-sick child with a coughing fit right in the direction I was heading. It was always close too... like, right around the corner of the next aisle. It took me a few minutes to redirect and each time I diverted I'd hear that same obviously-sick child cough right in front of me again. The last time was still nearby but I was already passing that area and it wasn't in front of me. I looked every single time and never saw the source of the coughing but after the final time I had to announce to everyone around me:
"Whoever is coughing like that should not be in this store. Yeah, I said it. Read the signs." You know the ones... If you are showing any signs of illness... [blah blah blah] ...DO NOT ENTER.
I mean, we are in the height of summer. Whatever that kid has, he/she didn't get it from school and he/she got it in spite of unprecedented social distancing, so I'd say there was a pretty good chance that kid's parents are directly responsible for infecting people during a pandemic. Even if it is just a normal cold (doubtful), we damn-sure don't need to be adding to the healthcare load with other respiratory infections right now. Those parents deserve a slap in the face... or much worse. It's hard to top that level of irresponsibility. It's as if they are doing everything possible to spread it to as many as they can and don't even care that subsequent people will die as a result if their kid does have it.
Kid is sick? STAY TF HOME, MORONS!
