A sure-fire recipe for COVID?
You have your mask on, as you must, but you want to bag a kilo of kiwi fruit. You know what comes next right? The plastic bag is impossible to open. Yes, I know I should have taken my reusable cloth bags for fruit and vegies but I forgot. Those plastic bags are impossible to open unless you have some moisture on your fingers.
I whip down the mask, wet my fingers and hope I don't get COVID. Stupid I know. Health professionals would have a heart attack.
What's the solution? Reuseable bags should be the priority, but a social media post suggests you tie a trolley wipe to the trolley and use it to dampen and open the bag.
The post said: "I always use a trolley wipe for the handle of the trolley and then tie the wipe on the trolley side to repeatedly dampen my fingers.
"My shop is much quicker. No problem opening them then. Not sure about the safety of the wipe once I’ve wiped the trolley though."
Do you have this problem? What's your solution? Do you wipe down your trolley or basket?
After watching parents putting their kids in trolleys, I always use 3 wipes to clean the trolley
Kids should be banned from the Supermarkets, as when they are not bouncing in the trolleys, they run around touch and lick everything.
I always also use the smaller trolleys which are not as popular with the kids.
I then sanitize my hands and put an extra wipe in the trolley to open the otherwise impossible to open plastic bags for my fruit and vegies.
