Corona crisis: hygiene regulations in supermarkets
Various supermarket hygiene measures have already been taken in supermarkets * because of the corona virus *. For example, customers should keep their distance and go shopping alone if possible. Buying hamsters is also far from beneficial. Most Germans in the supermarket now abide by these rules anyway.
According to a report by Chip.de, employees of Aldi , Lidl , Rewe and Co. point out an apparently common hygiene error when handling deposit receipts : Some customers would - certainly without being aware of this - place the receipt between them Clamp teeth to then pass it on to the cashier, it says.

Deposit between the teeth - receipt not accepted
"It is really bad how some people hold the deposit when we scan the goods. And then we should accept it. That is wrong," Chip.de quotes, for example, Edeka employee Niels S. and Lidl employee Daniel K. wrote in an email to Chip.de: "I have already told customers that I will not accept the receipt. It is about our health."
Pay contactlessly instead of cash in the supermarket
However, hygiene * also plays a role when it comes to paying - especially in corona times. Many consumers prefer to pay " contactless " for smaller amounts in many supermarkets. The advantage: Customers only have to bring their card or mobile phone close to the merchant's acceptance terminal in order to initiate a payment.

Cash yes, but please pay attention to hygiene
Others continue to hold onto cash . It only becomes unsanitary when some customers (also here out of a habit) first lick their fingers to reach for the notes in their wallets. You should also better get rid of this habit.
