I’m sure there is risk but just like my job in hospital it’s essential.
Coupled with the fact that other layed-off workers who could replace the current employees can make more by collecting “enhanced unemployment” rather than working, this is a potentially dangerous (though not unforeseen) development.
I’m sure there are many unemployed people who would gladly take their place, I mean how hard of a job is it?
Now what will the foodie snobs do?
WaPo Bezoslib and AmazonSeattle must be in favor of this pro-worker program, right?
All groceries should look at how HEB has handled this crises.
Even Schwarzenegger made a positive comment the other day.
Bezo’s needs to protect his employee’s.
Whole Foods should just replace them. Unemployment is high right now.
I am all for them being able to wear masks, gloves, stay home if sick, to be clear.
It also shows that it’s the leftists who were the ones that are pushing this hoax with their irrational fears.
Okay.
Judging by the number of empty parking spaces there were around the Whole Foods store down here - before the virus hit - I would think they may not be in the strongest position to make waves.
Here in LA there have been plenty of grocery chains that have had infected employees..just recently the Costco in Marina Del Rey..heck I worry more about the store employees passing the virus around than the average Joe going to the store to pick up TP
Your employer is experimenting with cashier-less stores. You might want to make yourself look MORE valuable to them as they decide which cashiers are non-essential. Just saying.
You can always count on liberals in a crisis....
Lots of companies not regarded as “progressive” are already doing this for their employees.
Around here we call Whole Foods “Whole Paycheck” because their prices are so high. There are plenty of other grocery stores where I can shop.
Creating new jobs for those that were already sick and recovered.
Fire them and replace them.
My wife just got a call from a friend. She and her husband went to Trader’s Joe as senior citizens this morning.
They limited the shoppers in the store to ten. The areas out side the store were squared off with red tape on the sidewalk to hold 2 people. They got in the store in about 25 minutes. It was well stocked with the exception of tp*. They loaded up on fresh meat/sea food and frozen stuff.
When they left the store, TJ let another couple into the store.
Then, they drove past Whole Foods with zero people outside and basically no cars parked outside. Then, they, did their Target and Outdoor store stuff. Again, they waited outside the stores until customers came out.
As they left the shopping center, they went past Whole Foods with no one outside waiting and zero cars in the parking lot. Trader Joe had a line of customers outside waiting to get in.
tp* Last week a neighbor went to TJs and asked if we needed any. My wife said tp, and our neighbor got us 12 rolls.
