Despite the right bat wing rhetoric.
Here's how that originally played out...

I’ve donated almost all this week.
Ummmm....you really arent using the membership to its full potential, lots of samples youre missing out on.

To my knowledge a P95 filters everything a N95 does plus protects against oil particles. Good for China virus and fume events while sitting in the back.

I despise all the sample-eating oblivious morons at Costco, jamming up the path for people who value their time and actually want to buy things.

Masks and gloves are not effective the way most people use them. Putting them on leaving the house and collecting five hours of germs, all the while touching your face, glasses and kids and others without disinfecting or washing thoroughly is not as effective as washing thoroughly and frequently. All you do is accumulate every germ you’re in contact with and spread it to everything you touch.

medical personnel change their equipment frequently, between each potential exposure, and wash often.

no agency or government has recommended masks and gloves except for those who are high risk, exposed or positive, or medically necessary. And in those cases you shouldn’t even be out.

Yeah....the girl who served me Panda Express at the airport yesterday had gloves on while she scooped my food.....then proceeded to take my credit card and press her register buttons....all while wearing the same gloves. I really don’t think a lot of people know what they are protecting against.

under this circumstance she was protected fine assuming she removes the gloves prior to picking her nose. You and the subsequent patron, meh.

As a food service employee, I expect her to protect the customer. It didn’t bother me much because I saw her put the gloves on before she served my food. I’m just used to seeing them take the gloves off to work the register. I just hope that she took them off before the next customer. But......the place was dead, just like everywhere else in the airport.
