This is an arrow sticker. It sits on the floor of our local Loblaws grocery store, but there are countless other ones like it in essential publicly-accessible locations around the world. They're there as pandemic-era aids to direct traffic and minimize physical interaction.
If you see one, please follow it.
Because most people don't.
Because the universe seemingly compels them to walk the wrong way down an aisle so they can minimize their step count as they successfully forage for dill pickles.
Because they simply can't be bothered to slightly alter their routine for the safety of others.
Because they left their kindness at the door. Or somewhere else.
Because they're statistically more likely to be wearing their masks below their noses. or walk right through you as if you aren't even there.
Look, I get it. We're all freaking exhausted and irritable. But the only way we're getting out of this will be by looking out for others, and choosing the kinder route.
Ignoring the arrow reflects neither.
So please be both aware and kind. It's really not as difficult as it might seem.
And it might save someone's life.
