Pathetic in-store policies

I went to Pep in Dihlabeng mall in Bethlehem to buy shoes and clothes for my children. In the store I found signs that told me that we are not allowed to fit shoes or clothes. I was told that this is due to Covid. As a medical technilogist and as an (ex) client I find this pathetic and beyond stupid. Covid is not spread by feet. It will be more dangerous if even any at all, to buy items, take them home and then returning them because they do not fit. Why is stupid and un-rational decisions like this made? Two shops away people are sitting outside a shop and eating, drinking and chatting with no masks on, but this is fine...
