Yeah, pretty straight forward job really and probably the first time somebody would be legally allowed to rob retail outlets with nothing more than a screw gun. Or as you said, stick 'em up.   8)

The combo gas station/convenience store next to the interstate has hung an entire sheet of clear acrylic from the ceiling just above the counter. They also put some stuff in front of the counter to keep you from getting too close.

Electro Detective:
A lot of good those acrylics will do once they soon get all filthed up and not so see-through

not to mention staff may get electrostatically zapped if running about and charged up  :o 

bored sugar pumped kids and teenage idiots pressing their fingers, faces and tongues on it

did I mention even more unnecessary landfill content from these in the future?  :--

i.e. no population self detention and forthcoming economic downturn/Depression was deployed to battle and control AIDS

There was no reason to, you can't get AIDS from being in close proximity to infected people. If abstaining from casual sex was enough to prevent the spread of Covid we wouldn't have to take drastic measures to prevent that either.

Obviously.

But if I got it right, Electro Detective seems to be thinking that Covid-19 is just a scam or something. So I don't think discussing the drastic measures that have been taken is going to lead to anything fruitful anyway.

Whereas there are IMO some dark spots in the way the Covid-19 has been handled, I'm wondering what exactly is ED's point. Politicians may be lying, but I don't think thousands of hospitals worldwide would have any interest in lying as well. Or as I said, maybe he's just trolling. Who knows.  :popcorn:

I saw these shields installed at the local Aldi a few weeks ago and now they are everywhere. Installing these barriers would be a good little business to be in about now and probably some good money in it as well.

The acrylic shields have been installed over here too in most shops.
