Hand sanitizer usually doesn’t come in red and blue flavors.
As businesses adapt to the coronavirus pandemic, it can sometimes be confusing for customers who don’t know proper health and safety protocols in certain public areas. And as one viral video shows, this can sometimes lead to people making unfortunate mistakes.
A video recently was posted to Twitter allegedly showing a confused elderly man walking into a convenience store, approaching a frozen drink machine, and pouring some of the red liquid on his hands. He then rubs his hands together in a way that makes it appear as though he assumed the machine was a hand-sanitizer dispenser.
According to the video, which is a cellphone recording of footage captured by security cameras, the incident appears to have occurred between 3 and 4 p.m. on Sept. 15.
