Equip people with the knowledge required to make good decisions rather than shame them with your inflated sense of authority, which will just backfire. Yes it's hard but there's more motivation than usual this time. Keep playing the entitled game and soon you'll realize that we should all be picking edible weeds and grubs out of our yards vs going to the grocery store.

Neek, can you define the entitled you're discussing? I keep seeing the word but no definitions.

I get your drift, but its darned hard to form a judgement for arguments where the terms are not even close to defined! For example, Ski is arguing against entitlement, seemingly indicating several posters here, but there's no way to tell what he means. It would be great to get out and if you can do so on a tank or at worst, a gas pump encounter, this meets the goals which is non interaction.

I wouldn't call it entitlement. The whole, I'm going no matter what thing is what will make this epidemic go on until a vaccine is approved and distributed and used. People, it's only like two or three weeks. Don't travel. How do you know you aren't going to break down, have to stay in a motel, and catch or spread this bug? I find it hard to believe that one can drive from the coast to Odessa and back on a tank of gas. Plus, it sounds like the poster is determined to fill up in Cle Elum. The pandemic is going to go on and on and on because certain people can't understand how it spreads and think they cannot get infected or be a spreader. Hell, you don't even have to have any symptoms with this bug in order to spread it. The damn trail in Odessa or anywhere else will be there later. I doubt that many people ever use that particular trail. I wouldn't call it entitlement to go traveling at this time, I'd call it being a stupid, uncaring dumbass. One who doesn't give a damn about anybody else. F you. You're not entitled, you are a jerk.

^ this is what I'm talking about re. providing information vs. just telling someone they're a bad person. (Although 2 or 3 weeks, good luck.) I might read that and say huh, I never really thought about it that way, maybe I'll reconsider. Rather than f u, it's a free country and I'll do what I want.

For gas pumps, I've been keeping lysol spray in the car and wiping down the pump handle, keypad, etc. before pumping gas. It's also a good policy to wipe down the other pumps nearby to help keep your neighbors healthy. If you have the supplies to do it, it's a small gesture but better than nothing. Also not a bad idea to wipe down your phone, keys, bank card, wallet, etc - objects that are commonly touched after touching public surfaces.
