I am still keeping our shop open but we have stringent rules in place. The doors are locked and you are only allowed to enter after contacting us first and and we discuss how we will interact once in the business. We are not allowing multiple clients in at any given time so locked doors and sticking to dedicated times for interaction are keeping this in check. We do have signs on the door for people who still walk up that explains the situation and our contact number to call and if someone is in the area we ask them to remain outside in their vehicle until we are clear of previous clients before receiving them. Customers drive their own vehicle in and out and have the option of remaining in their vehicle or if they choose not to they must practice social distancing while waiting away from the employees and are being asked to remain in one place and avoid touching as many things as possible. Obviously if they are experiencing any symptoms we are telling them to not come in and stay home. We have hand sanitizer available for clients and we are wiping down with bleach etc and cleaning anything and everything within the area a customer has been if they choose not to remain in their cars, every single time the client leaves. We have disposable single use plastic bags over the handheld chip reader that we spray down with with sanitizer before use even though there are single use only, but we are encouraging interac e-transfer for anyone still concerned. We also have disposable gloves available for clients to wear as well while in store.

So far it has been working out fine and everyone has been respectful and does what we are demanding so as long as it continues like this, we will continue.
