Having the Flight Attendant (FA) door greeter handing out sanitizing wipes distracts the door greeter from being able to monitor safety duties at the forward door. The FA is unable to monitor baggage and other issues that the FAA requires because of passing out non-safety related items exclusively. These items should be passed out to the boarding passengers from the Customer Service Agent who has time before boarding and the manpower to distribute them.
