A glove pair is used for only one day's worth of trips.

They are NEVER discarded in the parking lot.
It goes on the car floor, then is discarded at home.

Back to tech, somewhat, there was a discussion between me and my
wife on whether self checkout is safer or cashier checkout. Her view is
that the self checkout are disinfected between customers (at least at
Zehrs Beechwood), and therefore it is better.

My view is that it is all the same, since various items were stacked on
shelves by humans, making them suspect. The definitive solution (as far
as research papers say), is to quarantine items for 72 hours (hence the
home box or basement  quarantine).
