Hardware Store Versus Coronovirus

I work in the retail sector and everyone's gone mad. It's really very amusing. It's really very sad. Toilet paper and sanitizers have flown right out the door. Though everyone is asking we've no idea when we'll get more. The face masks of every type are hoarded like they're gold. Even the ones for dust or painting. But those hoarders can't be told. The painters and the contractors are getting pretty mad since the ones they need for their jobs are no where to be had. Panic is setting in and everyone's afraid. But off to work we go because we just need to get paid. The N-95 face masks ( the ones they really need) are limited to six per customer, a lot of whom can't read. We wipe the counters diligently, the keypads and scanners too. We don't want the coronavirus but we understand it's just a flu. Wash your hands, don't touch your face. It doesn't seem that tough, and if you're sick, just stay home. We can't emphasize this enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~ 12/03/2020
