But it was exhausted. So, no-one entering the store was able to sanitise their hands so as to prevent them from passing the virus onto store surfaces and/or other shoppers. - There was just one Exit point open – **good.** - But there was no hand sanitiser provided at that Exit point – **bad.** - Anyone who might’ve picked up the virus while in the store could not sanitise his/her hands leaving the store. Countdown needs to get their act together. Have hand sanitiser at the one monitored Entry point. Have hand sanitiser at the one Exit point. I wanted to email Countdown to this effect. But one can send an email only via their website. So I did that. I sent the above message. My email was blocked from delivery. Yesterday morning, I phoned Countdown, or tried to. I got a “hang on” robot message, and eventually the line went dead. So, I can’t email them, and I can’t phone them. There is no Countdown anywhere near my place of abode, which is not Taupo. So, I can’t go in and harangue a shop manager. Can anything be done?
