Jewel-Osco Adding Sneeze Guards, Social Distancing Markers
The grocery chain said it will encourage people to stay six feet away, or "two carts apart," from other shoppers to combat the coronavirus.
CHICAGO (CBS) — In an effort to protect employees and customers from the spread of the novel coronavirus, Jewel-Osco stores have begun installing plexiglass sneeze guards at cash registers, service desks, pharmacy checkout counters, and Starbucks terminals.
Jewel-Osco also is using tape on the floor of checkout lanes, pharmacy counters, customer service desks, and “fresh departments” — deli, meat, produce, and bakery areas — to mark off “social distancing” for customers, so they can stay six feet away from other people while waiting in line.
