Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.This seems to be a popular viewpoint lately, but I have a hard time with the argument that something isn't effective just because other people are doing it wrong.
I take off my gloves (correctly) when I am outside of my car, and throw them in a bag which is disposed of when I get home (in the driveway, it doesn't even get into the house). When in my car, I use alcohol wipes to clean my hands and the steering wheel, and anything I may have touched getting into the car. The wipe also goes into the bag. I then remove my mask. If I go on to another store, I use fresh gloves. This is not brain surgery and, yes, it's better than bare hands, so I will continue to use them when shopping.

I keep my gloves on until my groceries are all n the designatedl drop area,then wash my hands wearing the golves, hang them to dry, then get busy with bleach spray & paper towels on the packages. If i know i will won't be using something for 3 days (or more) it gets stowed behind older stuff. Then I wash my hands & the drop zone thoroughly. Then I go put my feet up! I buy so much more than "normal" so I don't have to go out very often, the whole thing is exhausting!
@AnneWimsey It is exhausting, isn't it? I try to keep a good supply of stuff, and anything that can stand the heat gets left on the shelves in the garage until I need it.
I've been using alcohol because I always drip or spray bleach on my clothes at some point. 
The writer says that gloves do not help much, and could make things worse if not used properly. Agreed. So you may get a tiny gain if you do make a big effort to use them properly. Take your choice.

I feel with all the free time have,watching YouTube instructionor 2, and implementing their protocol, is the least I can do for myself
That depends on whether you touch your face with a gloved hand.

That's what the mask reminds me not to do, along with the gloves.
