when you enter the store, you have to disinfect your hands - ok.
you have to wear your mask - ok.
you have to keep distance - ok.
if you like something, you will buy it without trying - not ok.
the good thing is that you can return it if it doesn't fit you, but you won't get your money back, but you can pick up something else that costs the same money.
i don't understand why do they do this, if we're wearing mask and all that. it's not like we're going to get infected by trying something on.
i don't know, maybe i'm dumb, but i really don't understand why. people used to try on clothes before too and it's not like you buy the thing and you wear it immediately. at least i don't think so. i think people usually wash it after bringing it home from the store.
i found this drawing on the internet.

but i'm wearing a mask and it's not like i'm going to sniff it or lick it and get infected, i haven't heard that people get infected by virus touching their skin?? it's just dumb.

@aureategloom naa it's not dumb. If you are infected you are to sweat and your body parts will touch the cloth so who ever will touch the cloth next or wear would be infected too.

I wouldn't want to try on anything these days that someone else has tried on. Most of the clothes I buy are silk and would need to be dry cleaned. I don't even go to the dry cleaners anymore. I have a pile of brand new clothes that I bought in Florida and have no where to wear them except at home.
I love the drawing!

i don't like trying out the clothes, so if i try something that means that i'm about to buy it if it fits me good. and of course i wash myself as soon as i get home and i wash my clothes before i wear it next time

maybe the clothes people return gets disinfected or something, so they want to minimize that by not letting people trying the clothes on until they buy it. because that way, at least they earn.

that's your choice and i think it's smart too if you got many cases there where you live.

Yesterday I practically face same situation in my clothes shopping my friend. Same thing is going on in shopping complex too. We must check temperature before entering, must sanitize your hands, no trial, no exchange, must wear mask and gloves, keep maintain social distance too.
All are well followed now.

I don't get why you can't get your money back if you buy something and it doesn't fit you? That is not right. I also don't get why returns are not allowed for groceries? Do they think people are gonna contaminate it somehow?

@aureategloom In my local grocery store you cannot return anything due to the pandemic.

I always avoid trying on stuff in shops incase someone with a parasite like scabies has already tried it on
Or someone with piss smell pants or bad body odour.
