The lady working was not wearing a mask, very politely I asked if the store did not require masks. She said no.
I should have left my $100 worth of products,
I went in early to avoid risk (I am very high risk and only shop the slow times during Covid) The store was amazing! so amazing I spent over $100. when I was only going in for 4 things. It was so early that I was the only one there.
When I finally was ready to check out, a lady came out with a red nose sniffling and not wearing a mask. I very politely asked her if they didn't require masks in the store, she replied No. I stayed behind the plexiglass as she started to ring me up as she used a tissue to wipe her running nose and then she proceeded to touch, scan, and bag all my things. As I walked out, there was a sign that stated you must wear a mask to enter.
When I drove home I started worrying about her running nose and touching all of my things. I got home and put everything in the garage and wont touch it for several days, (I know it's a very low possibility of transmission) but I am VERY HIGH RISK, I don't know if she has Covid, but the systems she displayed are also signs of Covid-19.
If I could I would want to return every single item but, I don't want to spend more time in front of that lady.
I am so saddened by this experience and hope she can change how she conducts business at the Family Dollar tree.
Also on Yelp - for this store - the most recent review about a month ago m, said a lady working there wasn't wearing a mask. It sounds like it's the policy of this particular Family Dollar. read more
