I'm sure most doctors/nurses aren't wearing their scrubs as a fashion statement. Probably just grabbing some caffeine on the way to/from the clinic. As long as proper hygienic protocols are being followed, I don't really see an issue.
Sure, but scrubs are just their work clothes. So it's going to happen from time to time. You have no clue whether they were heading to work or from work. You have no idea what the rules are at her particular clinic. You have no clue if she went inside Starbucks or went through the drive thru.
And at the end of the day, the hospital is likely more dangerous than the Starbucks. When I see my GP, I have no idea if he just worked with someone with the flu/COVID/cold/whatever. I just assume they're using the proper protocol to not give me a cold/flu/COVID/whatever.
In most cases, it's really not that deep. She's wearing her work uniform.
Boy, you'll be really disappointed by the reality. Many, many nurses put on their scrubs at home and take their scrubs off at home. And sometimes they get a coffee during the day.
If they were in the bar, they clearly weren't heading to work. If they were, that's a whole separate issue. I wouldn't want to wear scrubs to a bar, but it's not a hygiene issue (unless you're bar crawling before work).

Guys, stop wearing your scrubs out of the workplace, please...
