Why your support matters
Really?
Circles, circles circles.
For yippies, yuppies, yuppies.
How about installing plexiglass protections for both workers and customers at places like Key Food on McGuiness Blvd. in Greenpoint?
Other supermarkets do it. Even lowly 99 cent stores do it. Why doesn’t this Key Food care about its customers and workers?
And while I’m at it, why don’t supermarkets stagger their open register aisles- one open, next one closed, next one open, etc.?
Tou can’t social distance if you’re one foot away from the cashier in the next register line behing your back.
