Inspired by HA's "Best Practices" thread ... I haven't checked any media references and I'm only going off the top of my head ... here are two:
* Folks might go to using debit and credit cards more and carrying less cash ...
* Hand sanitizer will be a permanent fixture to the front foyer of our house ...
That's only two issues, anyway ...
Cheers.

Street people/panhandlers/whatever you call them are out of luck with me, I buy a bunch of $5 TH gift carts to hand out. Yes $5 but not everyone gets one. Bank deposit by mobile app, payments by debit (credit card so I can get the points, actually). We scrabble for tooth fairy coin! A few of our church people still write cheques but most use online donation or etransfer. Must be difficult to launder money these days! |

Ja, wir sind Dinosaurs  ... we still carry cash but not a lot ... Too funny ... like yourselves, if we put anything on the credit card it'll only be for the points ... We're a tad behind the times with this one ... we've been avoiding it, but we'll be setting up online banking once the dust settles ... for us it'll be more like catching up with the times rather than seeing something 'new' ... Yeah, I hear ya' man ... ever see the series "Ozark" ... Cheers. |

I get annoyed if the store doesn't have tap'nd'go. Post virus, the extra cleaning precautions stay and definitely no doublecheek man kissing.....  Also masks if we are sick and going out. Before, masks would get you extra looks, but after this, not so much. Before this virus, if I was sick and still had to meet somebody, I would keep people several feet away, so this "social distancing" isn't something that just got invented. The majority of people would first react with curiosity and concern, but then, appreciate the measures I would take to make sure I did not spread my flu. Early on, some were offended so I learned to tell them ahead that I was sick, but i'm ok with keeping our distance and they not touch anything. Even on the street, if I had a cold, I kept my distance from others and never shook hands. Now, I'll up that by wearing a mask. |
