It’s safe to say that while medics are on the frontlines fighting the coronavirus, retail employees are working nonstop behind the lines, making sure we have everything that we need. World leaders have said time and time again that we’re at war with an invisible enemy—the coronavirus. During wartime, supplies are essential. If you want to know what happens when supply lines stop working, have a look at Napoleon’s invasion of Russia and how that ended.
Luckily, the US is starting to recognize retail workers’ valiant efforts in keeping the country functioning. For instance, some states like Minnesota and Vermont are planning to classify grocery store employees as emergency workers. That includes register clerks, the staff who stock shelves, the people working in distribution, and those who keep the stores clean. We can all do our part to help retail employees feel valued, just like Amy did. Are you up for the challenge, Pandas?
