A UK supermarket has banned the use of money that was stored in shoes and bras as part of the effort to reign in the spread of COVID-19. Among other strange facts coming out of this outbreak is that some people lick their money before handing it over to the cashier.

We are doomed.

[Ed Note - Updated the story to reflect that the store is called Iceland and is, in fact, a UK supermarket.]

    The wax? Yeah, I see it at the bank all the time. It's usually in a little pink flat tray thingy, maybe 2 inches long, and an inch wide, not more than 1/4 inch think. I think the wax is tinted pink, peach, or something similar, or it could be transparent, and I'm seeing the pink plastic through it. Never would have though of it, until you mentioned it.
