I thought most employees have been doing that for years. I can’t find one 90% of the times or they seem to turn away once you make eye contact. Walmart employees that work the ammo counter have been setting the standard for years.

Too bad the customers don't... Every time I have been to Lowe's or Home Depot the last few days I wind up with some slack jaw breathing on my neck in line even though they have cones set up 6 feet apart...

I posted this the other day in some other thread...
I needed a couple hose couplings. Ordered them on HD’s site for in-store pickup. The order was ready about 30 minutes later. When I got to the store, there was an area of the parking lot marked off for online pickups. A sign instructed to call their number and they would bring the order to the car. When I called, I was told to find the large cabinet near the front door. It looked like those coin operated storage cabinets at airports. You walk up, punch in a pin or scan the qr code and the door pops open. Nobody near or breathing on you.

Nah...even you could do it.
I picked up a small order from HD yesterday - I bought it from them instead of Lowe's because of the vending machine pickup arrangement. It took me about a minute to grab the goods, and get out of the store. A hint: have the qr code on your phone screen before you go in.

Happy to be here
went in last week to get a key cut, there were people shoulder to shoulder, shaking hands & 2 ladies hugged. I ask the guy about people coming in, he told me whole families were
coming in. that they were mostly window shopping. he said most people like myself would come in & get what they needed & leave. he had just came from the kitchen & 3 or 4 couples
were over there waiting to plan a kitchen

Even better idea: Make sure you have something between you and the keypad. Paper towel, glove, something. Don't touch the keypads! If nothing else, wipe it down with an alcohol prep pad before using it. Something is better than nothing.......
Customers walk right up to us, we have green cards on the HD aprons '6 Feet please'. Mom with kids, dog, couples with two dogs.
Stopped in the one I used to work in and saw the little 'badges' they were wearing.
First time Ive been in and not shook a former coworker's hands before.
Also, they were only letting 150 in the store at a time, had a line to get in when I left
You do know why they do that Button....like everything else in life...they got away with it the last time....
If I just get to the store I would call it a victory........I still have trouble with self-checkout.
I operated out of the HD HQ in ATL during Florence. They use those aprons very effectively to quickly determine your job/position. While I thought a bit childish at first, by day 2 in the EOC it clicked. The aprons with job positions noted helped us help them out significantly. They told me when the owner comes in the whole building wears them.

Just run out the door. Nobody will stop you.
Just keep an IRS.GOV t-shirt handy to throw on when you go in to places like this.
Please pardon me, but when I read this I just immediately went to:
I'm really ashamed of myself.

Cough cough "worked out of". We are located all over and work via the internet. This allows us to shift around as needed to keep continuity of operations.
