Maybe the people making grocery store clerks feel afraid at work shouldn’t be free to walk around causing trauma.
Freedom is not anarchy.
Have you ever been on NextDoor? A bunch of people are terrified of completely normal interactions because people look & sound different.

I’ve been leading a team remotely since March 2020 and have had no issues with my team that wasn’t cleared up after a quick conversation in our 1-1.
Until then, it all sounds like game to me.
I work far more from home on average. When I worked from the office I had so many interruptions. We’d also take Wednesday and Friday afternoons to play table-top games. There was table tennis and foosball. Sometimes we’d all go out for lunch and it’d take 60-90 minutes. Now I just eat lunch at my computer, I don’t table top game or socialize. I just code and zoom all day.
The abuse is real, but since I’m not commuting it’s a great trade off of an hour wasted each way.
This is considerably lower than the non-insured cost of an Epi-Pen or generic equivalent[0]. Hopefully this spurs some competition and makes the whole market more affordable. I needed to use an Epi-pen in college, and though I never took issue with needles I'm glad than an alternative is available for those fearful of them.
(I didn't feel it. I was about to pass out. But I remember looking up from the floor while administering and seeing my RA terrified. He was so scared of needles that if I had lost consciousness, he wouldn't have administered for me!)

(Sometimes you could need two doses in the event of an emergency, according to doctors.)
I know this because I've been buying them for years without use (thankfully), on the off chance my son has a life threatening reaction to eggs.
