We’ve noticed a trend in the stores lately- people wearing rubber or latex gloves. Seems like a good idea, right? Of course, we all need to do our part to help curb the spread of Coronavirus. Aside from ensuring you’re wearing the gloves properly- please ensure you are disposing the gloves properly.
When removing them simply place them inside a trash can. Most stores have trash cans for your convenience. It’s that simple- find a trash can close by, or keep a trash bag inside your vehicle if you’re heading outside. The easiest way to store contaminated gloves is to place them inside a Ziploc bag, and dispose of them at home. There’s no need to be a disgusting pig and toss them on the ground of the parking lot. Stop being selfish because you’re now making an employee clean up YOUR nasty contaminated gloves.
Remember- we are all in this together, so please be considerate of your fellow human and wildlife. If you don’t want to touch your gloves, what makes you think someone else wants to?
This has been a public service announcement from your good friends at Ocean County Scanner News!
Rite Aid parking lot and that wasn’t the only set I saw either….wth!!!

Pigs
People are disgusting pigs
Nononono. You guys are using the wrong word.
‘Scumbags’ would be the proper terminology in this predicament.
Shane Dellaperute
We agree!
They are used condoms?
And these are the same people that wanted the plastic bag ban… guess rubber gloves falling into the ocean and estuaries is ok… disgusting
Can’t say I’m one of them and definitely not alone! Reusable bags for me.. If and when I choose to wear gloves out, I would NEVER toss them anywhere but the trash. I don’t see how people who want a plastic bag ban would be the first to do this. Honestly, they’d be the last people I’d put money on acting in such a disgusting way.
Rich Flynn had the very same thought smh
Rich Flynn , you’re sooo right!
Hey there. Using antibacterial wipes in the plastic tube ? Got an empty one now? Cut out the plastic tab you use inside its to separate the sheets and voila ! An airtight watertight container to carry in the car to dispose of gloves and masks. Pass this info along.
Great idea!!! Do you mind if I copy this and put it on my Facebook page ????????
Debby Carr steal away ! Spread the news, not germs.
People pigs
I noticed this at acme yesterday !…gross ass people out there !..just put them in the garbage ..they are in each parking space right where their car door would be !…POS
Robin L. Hazen Probably the same ppl who leave dirty diapers????
Christine Bona ..idk but it’s just gross for grown ass adults to be pigs…sad really
Robin L. Hazen I noticed that today at ACME ????
Fun disgusting fact: it’s happening at the hospitals too. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Wonder no more as to why our numbers aren’t going down.
What is wrong with people. Who do they think should pick these up for them…
Wawa parking lot 2 nights ago gas guy cleaned up over a dozen gloves off ground, and there is 2 large red trash cans in front of the store. Really disgusting. Too lazy to walk to trash can just drop it on the ground for our employees to pick up
Cindy Doty Heiart I agree – it takes 2 minutes to throw your garbage out
I’ll even bet that they dont know how to remove them properly
If the stores were smart they should Watch the Recorded Video and BLAST there faces in the store window !!!
And yes, there is a right n wrong way!!
If I see you do this know I will make you lick the door handle of the store you just exited
Lazy slobs
Well if you take the flaps off the garbage can I’m sure people would abide
Gabe Kelly so, you’re dropping your gloves in the parking lot because you can’t figure out how to push the flap open with said gloves and drop them in as the flap closes?
Thomas Joseph na I put mine in the trash it sleeves me out though gross
Gabe Kelly no they wouldn’t
Just a friendly suggestion I dont need that hype of someone taking a picture of me and blast it on fb I’ll take the risk
The Dirtbag Virus
Really!
Lazy no good doers ????
Oome idiots
The gloves do no good if they don’t change them after every item they touch. Oh touch a door handle.. change them. Picked up a can off the shelf at the grocery store.. change them.. change them again before you touch the door handle of your car and yet again before you touch the steering wheel.
Laura Michelle i think the mentality for most is to prevent the germ from touching their own skin/hands, as opposed to cross-contamination
Sandi Joy that only does so good. Cross contamination can get other people sick which may or may find its way back to the original person.
Laura Michelle i know this, but I don’t think the average karen does. lol
Sandi Joy yeah if Karen is too lazy to throw her gloves in the trash, I don’t think she’s smart enough to realize this lol
I see gloves left in the shopping carts for others to have to dispose
Sad that a few slobs are doing this, but is that not always the way. Actually, if you are just picking up items and putting them in your cart or basket why not just keep the one pair, you are not touching everything just that one item, when you get home you can disinfect what you can but let’s not be silly,
They’re all over the ground everywhere!
The lack of common sense in this world is disturbing.
Just came home from ShopRite and a pair of purple gloves laying by the carts. Really the garbage can was right there
I tell my family when going to get food to purell the gloves when they get in the car so as not to contaminate anything and they are reusable
Diane Montalvo eww… No. Throw them out. Not enough studies have been done on vinyl gloves or latex gloves for how long the virus can live on it. Alcohol breaks down the glove. They really are single use only.
Lisa A Fox good to know
I just saw that at Acme in Hamilton Sq the other day.Its always been a clean store. When I came out,the cart collector was picking up 50 easily all dumped in the parking lot.I felt bad how he was at risk picking up other peoples garbage during this stressful time. Good thing is though fingerprints can easily be taken to track these losers down ????
people plz stop being so nasty ????
Disgusting people, get your shit together people!

You don’t need gloves. Not touching your face, and washing or sanitizing your hands is better. All folks are doing is making a damn germ covered mess. No better than people who bag the poo then leave the bag of poo sitting on the ground. Too many people raised all wrong
I take mine off before entering my car then put them in my car garbage,common sense people
These are the same people that leave their trash all over the beaches!
People are such “trash” no pun intended ???? ????
Disgraceful
Look at all these goy’s leaving all these potentially virus laden gloves about to possibly infect children who might pick them up ..shame on you .
I had to go to shoprite Friday night for food. I was in my little square that they have mapped out and I notice a guy to my right in his square with his gloves on and see him rubbing his nose! Totally defeats the purpose of the gloves! Then I notice people with gloves on holding their phone to their face. Gloves will do no good at that point. Latex doesn’t kill the virus. I really don’t think these gloves are working for some people.
I’ve seen some people wear gloves. Then they touch not just the merchandise and carts (which is what I assume they are protecting themselves from), but their faces, jackets, etc. Kinda defeats the purpose of wearing the gloves….
They are all over Stop and Shop parking lot. I was sad to see that. Now the people who are already having to go in to work everyday and stay safe have to pick up your dirty gloves too.
and the wipes to clean carts
Gloria MacKenzie yes!!
makes you wonder if their homes look like that
Gloria MacKenzie true. I felt so bad for the people that work there and having to deal with that on top of all they are dealing with already.
Jacquie Gamboa where I work its not that bad just the wipes all over store, I am sick of picking them up
Costco in manahawkin
Freaking idiots
Ugh I’m seeing this all over the place I just can’t even deal with people anymore
We’ve gone from banning plastic bags and straws to littering with gloves everywhere you look
Good job people
All over the place at walmart
stop wearing these gloves in the stores you’re spreading the germs on the cart your holding to the food your touching
Nothing beats the dirty diaper I found at castle park. Take a wild guess who left it there?
Omg
Went to shop rite on Fischer blvd Toms River early this morning and parking lot was filled with used gloves. What are we, pigs? I have to move Germany
Karen Scarlato Sandy Same in Stop&Shop lot and CVS!????????
I feel like I’m in a third world country. I can’t believe the things I’m seeing ????
Kathy Izbicki it is incomprehensible to me how anyone can do that. Any type of litter. No less medical paraphernalia.
Kathy Izbicki let’s move to Germany land of our ancestors. You can lick the curbs
Karen Scarlato Sandy People just do as they want no matter what it they are supposed to do!!????
Kathy Izbicki as if things aren’t tough enough right now
Karen Scarlato Sandy I’m getting a taste of what retirement would be with Ed! Something definitely to adjust to but not just yet! Soon! He shredded 3 big bags yesterday of all his upstairs papers. Working on basement, little by little but throwing a lot out or donating!
Kathy Izbicki good time to do all of thst
Karen Scarlato Sandy Yes you start, looks like no end in sight and then give up!????
this will spread covid-19 , remove gloves and masks properly and dispose in trash only
Selfish idiots with no concern for others , really people get it together .
So this was at Lidls in Lacey last week, and it was not one or two gloves or masks. I am sure its elsewhere as well.
The parking lot almost looked like it had been a medical triage site.
A garbage can was by the front door, obviously too far for people to walk after having walked by it twice going in and exiting..
Wonder why this virus is spreading? People continue to cling to bad behaviors. One way or another nature is going to sort you out.
and who do you think is going to be sent out there to clean your medical waste up, some HS kid working in the store already risking his or her life to ensure you have food to eat. Wake up and stop being so selfish.
Some people are just plain disgusting pigs. Walk to the trash can or throw them in the back of your car and dispose of them at home. It’s time to care!
Unbelievable what does their houses look like pick up your crap so damn lazy ????????????????
Charge a few with unlicensed disposal of medical waste instead of littering and see what happens………..
You expect people to go out of their way to go throw out gloves when they can’t even put the shopping cart back???
Not nice people
If you don’t know how to use them or expose of them than please don’t wear them.. lots of people are defeating the purpose of how they are suppose to be used! Another thing for the lazy ones put the carts back instead of leaving them all over the parking lot!
Scumbags
Money can’t buy class
Shame on the human race!!!
Pure laziness and nasty and spreading more germs
You’re all worried about germs so you wear gloves. Good for you! Well seriously aren’t you all concerned for our well being about the germs you leave behind when you leave your gloves and masks on the ground? Hmmm something to think about!
I saw face masks on the ground walking my dog. Makes me so mad ????
No accounting for stupid morons
Hello that’s why they make garbage cans to put your trash in. Big pigs
How hard is it to keep small trash bags in your car!? Lazy and disgusting ????????
Too many morons in this world
These are the same people who are too lazy to return their cart to the cart return and would just rather leave it to bang into people’s cars…bunch of lazy slobs
And you to properly remove them.. can you pin This?
https://youtu.be/xTYioOo__6U
Gross I wear mine until I get home
Scott J Pender why until you get home? I feel like you shouldn’t be touching everything in tour vehicle after you touched everything in the store, doesn’t that defeat the purpose?
This was ShopRite I’m Jackson
As someone allergic to latex, thank you for posting lol
Lacey ShopRite @ Lacey Walmart ????
The even bigger problem aside from these disgusting people discarding their gloves everywhere is this:
I guess they didn’t have an ashtray or McDonalds bag to dump, pigs!
How hard is it to throw them away in a shopping bag and bring them home to your garbage can?
In the days of tuberculosis, they posted signs with big fines for spitting on the sidewalk. Why not big fines for littering medical waste($500 ?)
Disgusting
Wtf is wrong with people??!! ????????♀️
there not the ones that have to clean it up.!!!!!
Jessica Torres Faccone
People are disgusting lazy fucking pigs ????
I’m sure they have cameras they should have someone eTching them and calling cops on these pricks and be charged
