If I was the trolley guy at that particular shopping centre I'd be wearing gloves even if there was no IT around because some of the "shoppers" look pretty suss to me. I should add I do keep the car doors locked while I'm waiting for SWMBO.

So you've been to Adelaide too? I went there last year and came away with the same impression. It goes a bit farther than Snotown...

Remember this !

Then he can take a much needed holiday and then he's in trouble. But tourism is already badly affected. OTOH more cruise ships are now headed to WA so that will help a bit.

I did the same a number of years ago except place name was different called Brisbane what a bunch of clop dickh**ds your posts have just proved my point. Let me know when you plan on heading this way, Id gladly rearrange your hair style.

If I was the trolley guy at ANY shopping centre I'd have been wearing gloves for years, ever since I'd started in fact. Remember what I said about some men taking a leak and not washing their hands...I have no reason to suspect that they would wash them especially to go shopping...or anything else. Even the simple common cold - no lockdown or masks or anything else for that matter in normal times. So someone with a cold goes shopping, coughs into their hand and then pushes the cart around, and the trolley guy goes home with a cold.

Come to think of it, trolley guys are probably one of the bigger spreaders of any contagion. They handle all the trolleys that have been touched with whatever, and then handle all the rest of the trolleys.

As usual you've missed the point. It doesn't matter whether they wear gloves or not they're still going to spread the germs. So it only matters to them. If they keep their hands away from their faces, and wash them as required, there's no issue with not wearing gloves.

And there seems to be this unhealthy obsession with "some men taking a leak and not washing their hands"

Isn't that only an issue if they actually pee on their hands? And if they do does it really matter? Last time I checked urine wasn't classed up the top of the "virus infection" table...

I tell you what old fruit, for an ex-IT person you don't seem to think things through very well. You have demonstrated it time after time in this thread. I'll spell it out for you nice and simply:

• customer coughs into their hand, and pushes a trolley around
• the trolley guy collects the trolley and gets the contagion (of whatever) on his hands (gloved... or not) from the trolley handles.
• Without necessarily touching his face, he grabs the next trolley handle and puts the contagion on that, and so on, and so on.
• the next customer to use that trolley gets the contagion on their hands
• Whether or not he touches his face is utterly irrelevant to spreading the contagion to the rest of the trolleys.
• If he has the nouse to wear gloves then he can take one off to scratch the itch on his face

It really is exceptionally simple!

Maybe you need another trip to Adelaide?

Is this some twisted interpretation of positive self affirmation?

I enjoy this thread but personal attacks are ridiculous and notwithstanding the current situation, you should all take a cold shower. We are in this together and snarky bitchy remarks are demeaning to you all.

I doubt 5% of blokes would wash their hands after having a leak. You are only touching a bit of yourself. Who washes hands after scratching ones back?. Hell!, Bear Grylls even drinks his own urine if he is thirsty.

Thank you Artful Bodger!! I'm not the only honest one here!!!

Excellent video which I've forwarded on to everyone I know.

with regards to trolleys and also the hand baskets at Coles and Wooleys. Everytime I go there now, there is someone cleaning the new trolleys coming back into the shopping center. Each time I pick up a hand basket, the handles are wet because they have been cleaned not long before I got there.

Increased cleaning in-store

We’ve added extra cleaning and sanitisation to high contact areas of the store, including trolleys, baskets, checkout areas and self-service screens.
