Let me preface this by saying this is not the fault of any of the people working at this store.
So obviously we're in the middle of a pandemic, and all sorts of restrictions and rules in place.
This morning I stopped in at a convenience store, part of a major local chain (where, incidentally, I used to be assigned prior to my current posting). Up until now, they'd closed off the self-service soda fountains and coffee and gone to full-service, limited hours. But today, they'd done away with that and simply posted a large sign saying all guest must use hand sanitizer before touching the equipment. There was a 1 gallon pump bottle right there.
OK, fair enough. I used some of it, got my drink, paid, and left.
That's when the smell really started to sink in. Once the alcohol evaporated, my hands smelled like CAT PISS!!!!! Like something a cat peed all over and then sat for a while before it was detected. It was so bad after leaving the store I had to roll my windows down because it was making me cough and gag.
They actually still smell, despite washing my hands twice and putting scented lotion on.
I'm of half a mind to write to them and complain. I mean, I don't object to the policy at all. In fact, I rather like it, because before this I couldn't get a drink on my way home. And I know hand sanitizer is hard to come by these days, but it should not smell so bad that it makes the customers feel sick.
Any thoughts?

Hell, all the garlic that goes into the food has kept New Orleans vampire-free for a couple centuries now!
many shops have it here. I usually bring my own to avoid getting stuck to the wheel.
