Supermarket staff going around covering household goods like kettles and clothing like underwear. So it's fair.

Supermarkets have started covering up non-essential goods as Wales prepares to start a national lockdown.
From 18:00 BST shops will be forced to close for 17 days, unless they sell essential items such as food.
First Minister Mark Drakeford has said supermarkets should also stop selling items such as clothes as a matter of "fairness" until 9 November.
But retailers say the rules are confusing as they have not been given any definition of what is essential.
By law, clothing and homeware stores, and garden centres, will have to close during the national lockdown, while supermarkets, pharmacies and hardware stores can remain open.
On Thursday, the Welsh Government said that supermarkets would be told not to sell non-essential goods, like clothes, toys, decorations and electrical items during the 17-day firebreak.
Plastic covering was seen placed over pillows and cat baskets in Asda in Coryton, Cardiff.
The company said it had been given "little time to implement these changes or clarity on what is deemed 'essential'" and had "expressed our deep concerns about the implications for customers accessing products they genuinely need".
Tesco said it would work "incredibly hard" to comply with the Welsh Government's rules, while Sainsbury's said it was "working around the clock to put changes in place".
Plus Welsh police on the roads leading in from England. So us in England don't infect those in Wales.
