<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 2483936, member: 37"]Our collective shop has been open almost continuously with on-line sales only at first and now business as usual with masks since end of June. Sales have been about 50% of normal but we are seeing an uptick of late. This is when we typically head in to our busiest season with so much revolving around a University calendar here. Hope this will get us back to some semblance of normalcy and people find their way back through our doors. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have not returned to clerking as I am 65 and we have someone at home with multiple risk factors. The store had a little scare last week with one employee having been exposed to a virus positive person outside work. Our owner closed for an extra day until all employees could be tested and get results back. All came back negative and the store reopened. This was all posted to our facebook page with dates that the subject employee worked so that customers were aware of potential exposure. Thankfully, no one tested positive. Our customers appreciated the abundance of caution and transparency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
