Keep a dirty house!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

For the record - I do wash hands every time I use the restroom.

I'll have to disagree about a shopping cart handle being the same as a restroom floor. I can't deny that it might mean less sick time, that makes sense, but that's the same argument for doing much more germaphobe things. I also think that children touch everything and put hands in their mouths in order to help their immune system cope.

I'm not saying these cart covers are the worst thing on earth. I didn't tell the mom I spoke with how I felt, because it's not a huge deal. It's just not my deal.

(GD is free to use one if he so wishes.)

Safeway stores in our area (same owner as Vons in SoCal) have begun placing wet-wipe dispensers outside the store entrances next to the cart lines. Considering the usual sticky cart handles, I appreciate the chance to wipe them off before putting my hands on them.
