You'll need to add -Courteney

freitasm:

If you use "" as in "Courtney Cox" Google will ask if you are looking for Courteney Cox but the rest of the results are exactly what entered inside the quotes. That's how it works.

For two reasons.

They are protecting others from you, not the reverse.

Supposedly, the trolleys undergo regular disinfectation. (Note “supposedly”).

neb: The fact that New World prevents you from taking your own shopping bag into the supermarket because apparently it's more hygienic to use a supermarket trolley that a hundred other people before you have also handled than to use a shopping bag that only you will be touching. I get the feeling some of these places are just making policy up as they go along...

That's right up there with PnS last year deciding that during lockdown, the ShopnGo scanners were not to be used.  Instead of only me handling my groceries, they had to be unpacked onto a belt that had a cursory wipe from the checkout operator, each item handled by the operator and put into second trolley that the previous customer had been pushing round the store for the last hour or so.

Obviously far safer than just cleaning the scanners between customers as the staff put them back in the rack.

grammar pet peeve.. usage of orientated rather than oriented

Latest pet peeve .. seeing car adverts where they say the hybrid car does 1.2l/100km fuel consumption ... so with a 43l tank the car does 3500km on a tank of fuel ? :-)

How are they protecting others from you when they force you to touch and breathe on the shopping trolley that others will then have to touch?

See second point.

I didn’t think this up, it was explained when they first banned you bringing your own bags. They probably think you are more likely to sneeze and wipe your nose on a shopping bag than on a trolley.
Same theory with masks. More effective at stopping the outbound droplets than the inbound aerosols. Thereby protecting others from you. Note, talking about surgical masks and less, not N95 masks.

Its to speed the checkout up, as it means that they can just stuff it in the second trolly like paknsave did when I last endured that place. Now why do I pay more for new world again?
