We are now in the fourth week of the Corona virus quarantine, over one thousand people died in the tri-State area just yesterday and this store is not only taking no precautions, they are deliberately putting every customer that walks in at risk.
Their security guard, who doubtlessly comes in close contact with hundreds of people every day was blocking the door when I tried to walk out. He stood two inches from my face and didn't wait for me to hand him my receipt before touching my hand and taking the receipt himself. He then breathed all over the receipt as he checked it, stuffed it back into my hand before I could object and cleared the way for me to go.
Yes, I have been going out for long walks or bike rides every day. That and the internet are the only things that keep me from feeling totally secluded, being in my six room apartment, all alone. I've been also trying to go to one store a day, just to pick up extra essentials that they might run out of, at any point. However, when I have been out or in stores, I've done everything I could to stay at least ten feet away from anyone else that I see. Many stores have been taking precautions, having lines outside, only letting in a limited amount of people at a time and even having one way aisles so people don't walk by each other, in opposite directions. This store doesn't seem to take any precautions. And again, they do put people, starting with their own employees, at serious risk.
There are thousands of stores that don't have security guards checking receipts at the door. In this particular store, the cash registers are in full view of the security guard, if he stands by the door or, far better, if he were to stand off to the side. There is absolutely no reason for him to block the door, stand in people's faces and physically touch their hands to pull the receipt out of it. He can see who is paying and watch them walk from the register to the door. It was near closing time when I was there and the guard had doubtlessly stood two inches away from and taken receipts from hundreds of people, that day. Every one of them, starting with the guard himself, now has to worry about having Corona.
I don't normally post negative reviews, I believe everyone is entitled to mistakes, imperfections and bad days and I've never had a problem with this store or the employees before. However, until this DII changes its door policies to go with the times, I think they should be shut down and fined. The rest of us have stopped our lives. They can make a slight adjustment to their policies and stop putting all of their customers at risk. read more
