COVID-19 Alert

I apologize to my readers because this posting is very unlike my usual flare and levity. There’s nothing to joke about here, nor any comments about attitude. My observations tonight are only for safety concerns. I stopped and shopped at Travel Centers of America (TA) # 090, Ogallala, Nebraska. On I-80 at exit 126, 5 April 2020 at about 9pm. I bought a few food items and went to the Cashier to pay. There were about three people behind the counter. I didn’t notice any of them using hand sanitizer. So, I asked if they were using any hand sanitizer. The cashier informed me they were out. However, I was wearing gloves and a mask so, I offered to hold the food items as he scanned them. He agreed to this and let me bag the items as well. Please, whomever is in charge of this location, either get these employees the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), or shut the doors. We’re only going to stop the spread of this current threat, COVID-19 if we work as a team. Up until tonight, I had nothing but compliments for Travel Stops as far as their anti-viral procedures. They’re one of the sanctuaries for safe shopping. Not you guys. So, get on board. Thank you.
