I can’t believe a customer did that!

Here in Melbourne stage 4 today…

A customer at the newsagency counter pulls their mask down to lick their fingers before pulling a note from their purse to pay for a purchase.

Naturally, the response is – sorry, we are cashless.

This is not an isolated story. All through corona I’ve heard stories from retailers of customers doing similar – licking fingers, holding their credit card in their mouth while they reach for something else.

People spread the virus, especially stupid people.
