>I am in leadership at a Seattle Whole Foods location, and tomorrow, I am encouraging my Team to call out sick, regardless of their current health. I am no longer comfortable asking them to show up to work. My hands are bleeding from washing and sanitizing. Each time Governor Inslee shuts down another sector of business, another wave of scared shoppers flood the store.
>While the rest of the city is reducing their exposure and therefore their risk, we are in the unfortunate position of putting ourselves on the front lines of exposure. Besides the medical industry, grocers and pharmacists are the very last to shutter the doors. The medical industry has assumed risk, and are compensated appropriately. Pharmacists' salary estimate for Seattle is 110k-140k yearly. How the hell am I supposed to tell some cashier to show up and subject themselves to this for 16.90 an hour?

The shareholders and CEO are actually not making money “hand over fists” right now...

It's really heartbreaking thinking about all of these poor folks. I have a buddy who manages the night crews at a Costco. This poor bugger was looking drained from about 3 weeks ago, because even then people were clearing stock. It's an endless horde of potentially sick and violent customers, who're afraid and not acting reasonably.
Folks working in the grocery stores deserve hazard pay.

train the cashiers at grocery stores in the use of masks, provide them with masks and gloves. and give them extra pay during officially declared pandemics. seems fair. but then again supermarkets have notoriously tight profit margins.
