Shopping day here in Albuquerque 5-19-20. Thanks to our new city ordinance I saw almost

100% masking today. Saw one guy carrying his mask in his hand so I really distanced from him.

I went to the Post Office, checked for mail in our PO Box then went to the counter to buy some stamps
to help support them. This is the first time I've gone to the counter since last December. Now they make everybody wait in the lobby then allow us access to the counter one at a time. There are plastic shields between clerks and customers.There were two clerks today. Of course I had one of my wipes with me and when I got to the counter I began to wipe down what part of it I could reach and was immediately reprimanded. Wow, I've shopped all over this town and nobody else has ever complained. So I quietly paid for my stamps and got out of there. Sheesh.

They get really touchy about stuff like that. They couldn't know if there was anything other than disinfectant on your wipe. I would give them some slack.
