Not true. The cleaning crew in whites carry them to help keep the streets clean along with their brooms.
Yes I know that, I’m talking about front line hosts im merch, attractions, foods etc. They don’t carry pickers but used to be trained to pick up garbage they saw even though they were not technically custodial. Try telling them to do that now and pick up things with their bare hands.

That is a training issue that should start with their managers educating their staff.

Its not a us/non us problem its a fundamentally different way of buisness. Companies do not want shelves full. Thats money sitting there doing nothing. Its wasteful. Until.....resilience is desired. Our modern supply chains are all based on efficiency and profit. Sometimes the same thing goes back in fourth through countries because its cheaper that way. The downside of this is that you dont stock 30 days of marerial in your warehouse etc. You operate on a day to day basis you only have the tires for the car being built today and so on and so fourth.

Eidt- I would like to add risk shelves full of parts and or product is a risk. Theres always the chance nobody wants that next week etc.

In a nutshell
Modern supply chain =more profitable and financially efficient.
Also = less resilience and redundancy.
Right and it wasnt really an us vs them thing i was trying to project. But if something is made on this continent it takes alot less time for it to get to you than if its made in china due to most things are still put on shipping containers and you have customs etc. So you have less inventory in general (both at the store you shop, and the place that makes that item plus further down the supply line), then you add in how long it takes finished product to get to the retailer. Its a perfect storm, and we are seeing that in alot of areas. Just look at what happened to the car rental market. A simple mistake of selling most of their inventory due to covid (which in some ways made sense) is having tons of issues due to other supply issues. But.. contrary to the doom and gloom, the country was much better equipped for this than we would have been 10-20 years ago (maybe even 5-10) with the ability for people to work from home. Unemployment and the economy would have been destroyed if many jobs didnt have the ability for WFH

Sanitizer does not replace hand washing. And as I stated above I don’t mind picking up garbage so I don’t have anymore to say about this.
Sorry I didnt mean that towards you. I was more joking about when this all started people were paying 20 bucks for an ounce of hand sanitizer in the big sanitizer toilet paper shortage of 2020. And now you can get the small bottles clearanced at walmart for a nickel.

I apologize if you thought i meant that towards you.

dont we all carry antibacterial bottles everywhere now ;)
A gym member I work out with is vaccinated. Last winter he felt off, feverish and weak. He then took a test and tested positive for covid. He quarantined in another part of his house displaying symptoms. He admitted he regularly did not wash or disinfect his hands.

Using sanitizer instead of washing hands is like using mouthwash instead brushing your teeth. There was a big hesitance in issuing cast sanitizers because they didn’t want that to replace hand washing.
So you would rather go around with filthy hands and not use sanitizer if that was an option? Got it.

There has to be a smart balance. I got a few requests to put hand sanitizer stands outside bathrooms. I denied them, mostly for the same reason, hand washing is the priority in the recommendations and we can use them somewhere else. Since it is literally either reach of the request, most people will just wash their hands. But at the same time I have littered pretty much every other requested area with sanitizer. Why, because people will ignore having to find a sink if they have to remember to go to one or be really uncomfortable if they aren’t able to get to one before they have to touch something of theirs or something like that.

Of course my approach could be wrong too, but I think most companies are trying to make best practices as usuable a possible.
