Not seeing the place in person, I can't comment on whether you are
overreacting or not. The regular grocery stores in my area all provide a
container of Clorox Wipes next to the cart pickup area. I don't
generally use them, but pretty much everything I put in my cart is
either already packaged or something with a disposable exterior like
bananas or butternut squash.
