Giant Eagle doing this as well. My 18 year old kid is working 30+ hour weeks as a cashier through all of this. Most of the cashiers in his store are college and high school kids. He is also carrying a pass in his car that states he works for an essential business if he gets pulled over. I’m happy to see him behind some kind of barrier.

Since the states / democrats are banning plastic bags they should be more worried about the slime and goo inhabiting the cloth bags people are bringing in and reusing many times without washing between uses.
