3. If possible, make sure to use the self-checkout option.
As data from a recent study published in the Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine has shown, store employees who are forced to get in contact with customers on a daily basis such as cashiers, were five times more likely to get infected with the novel coronavirus, compared to the store employees who have limited contact with customers.
Therefore, if possible, it would be much safer to opt for self-checkout options and contactless payment options. Additionally, make sure to use hand sanitizer as soon as you finish touching the self-checkout screen, as it’s one of the most high-risk surfaces.
