Your Bathroom’s Closed?
Life as we know it has changed since the Corona virus. Where I live, it took about two months for everything to open back up, but it’s not the same.
Not at all.
As virus cases surge, there remains the uncertainty of what is going to happen. I live in a state that sees over 10,000 new cases a day.
No longer can you pass by someone in a store and smile at them. Well, you can but they can’t see it because everyone has to wear a mask.
Hand sanitizer is carried by nearly everyone, and stores supply pumps for customers to use at the registers. Plexiglass separates the cashiers from the customers.
Aisles are wider with directional arrows that no one even looks at, and people are counted like cattle at the door.
These changes I mention are only some of them. But, there’s one change that people seem to have issues with.
“What do you mean, your bathroom is closed?”
Now, I understand some issues. People who are shopping with a toddler for instance. No matter how many times you try to get them to go to the bathroom before you leave the house, half the time when you arrive at your destination, they’re doing the pee pee dance.
