. @woolworths Was at express checkout today & surprised to hear checkout operator say she could not pack the groceries, despite handling them TWICE - once to scan & once to make room while I was packing. (I normally self service so packing doesn't matter to me.) So illogical. >

> I deployed the bag so placing items in it was easy & would have avoided double handling - what if SHE was ill - double the chance of passing something on. I didn't argue, or comment & was polite. I blame nitwit management. #COVID19 #Coronavirus >

> Because I was at the checkout longer than needed due to this, risk to both & others was also increased.

This thread is an expose of illogical thinking by Woolworths under guise of apparently helping to limit spread of Covid19, who even replied that packing own bags helps - it doesn’t when operator handles stuff. Adding extra time extrapolated across country increases risk.
