[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird, reactionary assumption.

My SIL is a vet tech and wears scrubs. Some of my coworkers in a social work wear scrubs by choice - no patient contact, just easier.[/quote]

NP. These days we have to make certain assumptions in order to protect our own health. There's a major hospital near our neighborhood plus many urgent care clinics and other medical offices. In OP's situation frankly I would turn around and leave and just suck up the fact I was paying for takeout I didn't get. I know: Those could be people on the way TO work or people who work in a vet office or social work etc., etc. Doesn't matter to me because there is no way I can know that, short of quizzing them, so yeah, I have to assume the worst and not the best in that situation.

That response will get blasted on this site but since our family has vulnerable members, we're already isolating almost entirely; I'm not screwing it up by thinking I should just be nice, assume the best and figure that no medical worker would ever wear dirty scrubs in public. I'm sure most would not. But I'm not going to bet on it. [/quote]
