Honestly they are mostly absurd, but I'm talking the practices put in place for our apparent protection that are just plain ridiculous. For example, our town has 3 grocery stores. One of them will bag your purchases as usual and provides bags, the other will not bag them for you and insists you bring your own bag, and the last forbids you from bringing your own bag, you can bag your purchases with one they provide.So safety.
The local McD's will not give you your drinks without a tray if you order more than 2 drinks. Somehow taking both drinks and placing them in a holder is super safe, handing them to a customer is not.
Most of the local stores that were graciously permitted to remain open shortened their hours considerably, but made no attempts to limit the amount of people coming into the store. So, since there was a smaller window in which to shop, people piled into the stores to make their purchases. Totally unforeseeable. Oh yeah, nobody died either....weird.
It was pretty obvious right near the beginning that a lot of these stores were simply doing things in order to be seen to be doing something. It had nothing to do with actually keeping people safe, basically a corporate form of virtue signaling far as I can tell.
What other over the top nonsense have you seen out there? There seems to be no upper limit to peoples stupidity with this thing, so there must be some good ones.
