DIRECTORS COMMENT
This is directed at those who are wearing gloves, especially those in drive through venues. Any MEDICAL people please correct me if my statements here are wrong or partially wrong. I drive up to a venue to order a meal. I pull forward to pay. I use cash and notice that person I pay is wearing gloves. They have handled money from many folks and now I pay them and they return my change with bills and coin. They have contaminated me with other germs from previous customers. Wearing gloves or not, cross contamination can’t be helped here or can it? Any ideas? I have hand sanitizer in my response vehicle and always have and I use it all of the time. This still doesn’t solve this issue. Even using a debit or credit card is the same thing with most of these venues. They take your card, swipe it and hand it back. There are a few venues with that card machine just under a window but they don’t work most of the time. Is this fixable?
 
Give me your ideas and suggestions because we will be working on MITIGATION issues that will now include all industries that serve the people. How can we best mitigate this and this actually could relate to all businesses. LET ME KNOW!!
 
HAVE A SUPER DAY!!
