I'm trying to learn

.I haven't been going into stores much lately.  Whenever possible I get things by curb side pick-up.  But sometimes I feel like I really need to go into a store and today was one of those days.  I bravely ventured into a Hallmark shop, wearing a mask and carefully staying six feet away from other patrons.  It wasn't too hard since I was the only customer in the store.  I really had to be there since I have seven family and friend birthdays in July and needed to buy some cards.  All went well until I walked up to the clerk to check out. I reached out to hand her the shopping basket with the cards in it and WHAM! slammed that big hard plastic basket into the large, very clean, plexiglass shield between her and me.  The clerk just laughed, said it happens all the time, and pointed me to the little open space two feet to the left where I could hand my purchase to her.  Then she showed me the little opening in the plexiglass barrier where I could reach the card reader to insert my credit card.  I promise, the next time I'm in a store, or maybe the library next week, I will watch carefully to avoid invisible barriers.  I have never been accused of being coordinated but I can try to learn more of this new normal.
