4. This is good. There will still be people filling online orders though.

My son is working for a retailer that shut its doors and is getting praise for paying its workers, at least for two weeks, during the pandemic. He however has been shifted every day to fill online orders at the mall store with no increase in pay. He has even been offered extra hours.

While I appreciate the fact he is not in contact with as many people as if the store was open and am aware first responders, medical professionals, and other essential employees like grocery store workers face far greater risk exposures, it still makes me a bit uneasy.
