In light of the recent global pandemic, I'm declaring that a Vulcan hand salute is much safer than shaking someone's hand.
LLAP
The Vulcan hand salute, made famous by the Star Trek series, involves extending the hand with the palm forward and parting the fingers in a V-shaped gesture. This unique salute has become recognized as a symbol of unity, friendship, and understanding among Star Trek fans and beyond.
Didn't Nimoy note that it's actually some kind of Jewish benediction he observed as a child? So, not really unique, even if most people don't know where it came from.

Saw this...and thought of this Thread: "Masks are out at In-N-Out after burger chain bans employees from wearing them in 5 states" (AP 07/19/23).
Management's why:“the importance of customer service and the ability to show our Associates' smiles and other facial features while considering the health and well-being of all individuals.”
--Once upon a time management was threatening to fire employees for not wearing a mask. Now management is threatening to fire employees for wearing a mask.--
FOR THE RECORD: Management IS allowing a medical exemption from the "NO Mask Mandate".
ON ANOTHER NOTE: Will the time ever come when someone recommends an eatery with…
'The food’s lousy and the service is slow, but the employees all have lovely smiles'?
I used to adore In-N-Out until six months ago, when the cheeseburger I bought was the worse cheeseburger I had ever gotten from that place.
Know the feeling when you have to give up on a favorite. The owner of our longtime, #1 takeout location hung-up-his-apron, moved away, and left the place to his son and nephew. In no time at all the prices rose and the quality fell.

I don't know if the food is lousy, but the customers wouldn't mind this kind of slow service.
And the employees all have lovely smiles.

The First Clip: Think the first comment under this clip says it all: "I know what you’re thinking…it’s about damn time…"
The Second Clip: Don't know about the food, service, or smiles; but, the Keyboardist is certain to get a rating!
Thanks for the chuckles.

Yeah. But it's been a few...I think 2017 or so.
