justin case Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 just back from an almost daily Makro trip (ps: prices are getting much less competitive, always increasing with now many items more expensive than Tesco...) needed a temperature check Should I assume, if I have a fever, even a slight, I will not be able to buy groceries and just have to ... well, I know, I can go somewhere else in that case, unless they implement it everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted March 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2020 They were scanning when I went to our Makro today, BUT, as I got there they just waved me passed ! which was actually daft as I do have a sort of cold right now and may well have had a temperature. Guess farangs are not considered a risk in his eyes...5555 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least at the Makro I go to they throw the raw meat into grocery carts to stock it. And it appears they don't wash them or keep them separate from the carts customers use. I can see little pieces of meat hanging on carts when I go to grab one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensisaket Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you have the virus; and, get to the "herding" point where they are doing the checks, you have probably contaminated everyone passing that point for the next half hour or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anfh Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 As it is their own staff, I wonder what they will actually do if you fail test ? Just telling you to go away is not really a good idea if you actually have virus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
