Working as a grocery cashier, when I couldn’t get nitrile gloves, I started washing and reusing the ones I had. You need to turn them inside out to dry, and then back again. Trust me, it is hell.
I was trying to find somewhere to buy them (as our store pharmacy wasn’t able to get them) and someone I didn’t know gave me a box of 100 that she’d been given. (Through Facebook.)
My store provides vinyl gloves which are much less comfortable, hotter and inefficient. You can’t open a plastic bag with vinyl gloves. Nor can you get a sticker off it.
Many of the other cashiers don’t wear gloves at all. I wouldn’t either, except the constant cleaning was wreaking havock on my hands.
A customer pointed out that I should be sanitizing my hands between each customer so as not to spread covid cooties from one to the next.
