Change is sometimes good but not the path that got us here. Nevertheless...many of us have objected to vendor/host excessive kissing - hugging.  Dennis got the memo and reminded Amy...& MaryBeth earlier.

Nice to see more sensible behavior.  Hope it 'sticks'.

It's just common sense.

I am surprised how cavalier the hosts are with this whole distancing thing due to the virus. AS was coughing tonight and they still stand way too close to each other. The Q should really halt those food shows for awhile. I guess they won't be happy until they have to shut the whole place down.

IMO, a verbal greeting is all that's necessary.  Never did understand all the physical contact.

I don't get it either.  Just say hello and be done with it.  No need to go from handshake to elbow bump, but that's my feeling on it.  If someone tried to elbow bump me now, I'd say no thanks.

All of the kissy huggy stuff was to create a feeling of well being and welcome all...we like this person and it is good to love the product....and order!  I do not even like the elbow bump....kind of odd IMO.  A pleasant hello, love having you here would be just fine with me.

It should have never started in the first place.  Could you imagine walking into someone's office to conduct business and they offer you some sort hug or kiss?  Gross.

All the HUGGING and KISSING of NONFAMILY members of people SELLING GOODS; is simply sickening to me.

 

How and why this was able to happen in the first place is the REAL question...
