Mikiesboy Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 So today the Bank said for people who work face to face with customers, or if they travel in to work in the Contact Centre, they will give them $50 a day more, back dated to March 8 and for the duration. I won't get that, but i am glad people who do have to go in, will. 5 Link to comment

Breaks and lunch in your kitchen ( and a quick commute ) seems a much better option. 3 Link to comment

Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted March 25, 2020 Site Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just heard this on the news. It’s best to go shopping for groceries or the pharmacy early because the stores are getting a more thorough cleaning, so the earlier you go the more germ free etc. the stores going to be. I knew about the shortened hours but never connected that with a new cleaning protocol. Maybe some of you figured that out... 3 2 Link to comment

Having a senior’s hour is great idea, but early in the morning for those who have slow starts due to heath issues (arthritis for my mom) isn’t so practical. Then again, the alternative is a busy store, so damned if you do, damned if you don’t. There’s no easy solution to this, is there? 3 Link to comment

There’s no easy solution to this, is there? no there isn’t a good answer but some times you have to use your best judgment. so you plan your trips to make the best of your time. we are using the pick and shop feature from the local stores they get your order and then do curbside pick up for the first time. So we all need to stay safe and healthy. 3 Link to comment

So we all need to stay safe and healthy. Talking about curb side, I had a flashback to my childhood when there used to be a roller type conveyor belt at the front of the grocery store. The groceries were put into plastic crates (or something like that) and they were pushed along the belt by the force of other crates until they were outside the store in the loading area. They actually had staff who put the crates in the car for you - a form of drive though. I wonder when that stopped? Hmm, no recollection of that at all. 3 Link to comment

We are being careful dealing with the deliveries we're getting, but I told my mom there are times when I should probably pick things up rather than having them delivered. 2 Link to comment
