Selfie

This was one of the most stressful days of that year in 2020. I was 19 at the time and I was tasked to help a batch of online orders which not only was a lot of product we needed to pick up but it was during the summer of 2020 when COVID rates were going up. To this day, I ask myself, how have I never gotten COVID? I remember customers would not follow the mask, 6-feet distance recommendations and many were reactionary about it. I think the selfie expresses the frustration I had during my time at this supermarket.
