Is there anything you're gonna do differently now (or after this blows over) that you wouldn't have if this whole thing didn't come along & alter our lives?

I'm probably going to wash my hands, and sanitize myself more frequently. I was required to do it before the outbreak. Produce is required to be as hygienic as possible, and we were already required to wear food handling disposable safety gloves. So I'm not worried about the job, and safe handling procedures.

It's customers. So many customers don't wear face covering, or gloves. They constantly touch produce like traps, strawberries, etc, without using gloves, or wearing face protection. They can easily contaminate produce.

Where I work we were required to sanitize displays even before this shit broke out. If we didn't we could get written up, and fired for not following policy. If anything, policy is so much more strict that we have no choice but to follow CDC, WHO, and county guidelines. We already did before, but we could get fined for not following orders mandated by the county.

We take extra precautionary measures now. Produce isn't allowed to do as much, and our ability to push merchandise is limited now. We're required by the county to now wear face coverings, and gloves which we already did.

We take the safety of our staff, and customers seriously. We can't afford to have experienced staff get sick, and it makes us lose sales when customers get sick. Less sales mean less hours.

It's quite literally in our financial personal interest to keep customers healthy.
