Sign on the hot food bar at Shoppers Food in Germantown, Maryland, specifying that customers are required to wear gloves when handling the serving utensils, ostensibly to prevent the spread of COVID-19. What I observed while shopping there was that nobody followed the instructions on this sign. Considering that the COVID-19 pandemic was largely over by this point and the public panic had subsided, ignoring the sign was reasonable enough, even though the sign had not yet been removed.
