snoop1130 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Family Mart prioritises at-risk shoppers By THE NATION Family Mart stores have limited customers to 10 at a time as part of social distancing measures to reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection. The convenience store chain has also increased time spent on cleaning to one hour, from 3am to 4am, for branches open 24 hours. In addition, cashiers are now using small trays to receive cash from customers, who are also being asked to show their member codes via their phones, rather than pressing the number pads at the counters. Meanwhile the stores are asking customers to allow at-risk shoppers such as the elderly, disabled, and pregnant women to pay for their shopping first. All customers are also being asked to wear face masks and cleanse their hands with the alcohol-based sanitisers provided in each branch. Staff are required to wear face masks during their working hours, while cashiers must also wear face shields to protect themselves from infection by airborne droplets.

nausea Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 My local Tesco Lotus has some such system in place already - temperature checked as you walk in, hand sanitiser dispensed at the door. Whether it's effective or not I don't know but it really inspires confidence. Now the 7/11, that's just chaotic. There is some hand sanitiser tucked away by the entrance but the contrast is pretty stark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of half-arsed guideline is this? Stores in other countries are allowing seniors & handicapped to shop during the first hour of business so they can reduce exposure and not get pushed by crowds. How hard would it be for Thailand to do the same? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
