We went to a local market today. Apart from us and a few others, no-one was wearing masks. They're optional at the moment, but that is conditional ("recommended") on physical (aka "social") distancing being practised - and NO-ONE, other than us, was even trying to practice that.
When we re-open our borders, we're going to be utterly screwed - unless most of us are vaccinated, and all quarantine facilities have been upgraded.
Also had another courier lie today that no-one was home. I know people have watched the location indicator on a parcel in a courier truck go right past without even slowing down, and then they get a message about no-one being home. We had a note on the door asking specifically for the courier to knock loudly, and the second time they came, they did. When asked why he didn't do that the first time, the courier said he hadn't been there before. So how many times was he lying?
As a result of similar experiences, I won't order anything on line now unless the seller confirms who the courier is, and that they will behave appropriately.
(I also don't give feedback if any of the privacy terms and conditions are unacceptable to me - and it is worth checking them, as they often blatantly allow spamming and collection of irrelevant data. I also have grave concerns about the privacy of signatures etc that couriers collect.)
