Have you had any luck finding antiseptic wipes? It seems that nobody is right now.
I need to go back to work to apologize for criticizing them for not providing cleaning solutions for their front-line workers. Their recommendation has been to use hand sanitizer with a paper towel.
The sad reality is that paper towels are scarce too so some workers are resorting to wiping down their work stations using printer paper. Really?
Hand sanitizers have become so valuable that we are being directed to lock them up before walking away from our posts.
The Coronavirus is winning the war on yet another front.
Every grocery store I have gone to has been out of stock. The store clerks tell me that shoppers are at the door every morning when they open up. These people then proceed to clear out their stock of toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex and antiseptic wipes.
All of the pharmacies including Walgreen’s and CVS cannot keep them in stock either.
There are a lot of posts when you search the Internet for “antiseptic wipes,” including a number of advertisements. The problem is availability.
The top AD on Amazon’s website is a 60-pack for $8.80. It appears to be “In Stock,” but the only shipping option is Standard and the estimated delivery is May 6 through the 28th. I could be contaminated by then.
Amazon does offer a 20-pack of antiseptic hand wipes for $2.43. Great price. The problem is they will not be in stock until May 26. That’s six weeks from now. I could be dead by then.
On the same 60-pack on Amazon the seller is noted as Suxman-US. I was unable to locate their website. All of the findings when searching this company point to Amazon. Is this what a hamster’s life feels like?
Hey look! I just found all the toilet paper. The Facebook Marketplace is loaded.
Antiseptic wipes? Nothing within 40 miles and no one is shipping.
Plenty of first aid kits. Do I want to pay $34 for a few band aids, an ace bandage and the possible dried up bacterial wipe?
Did you know that some people are making their own wipes. They are with lotion, rubbing alcohol and heavy duty paper towels. Genius. So where are they finding the paper towels?
I keep hearing my momma’s voice saying, “Wash your damn hands!”
You know, sometimes you have to just laugh at the situation.
