• Request that the cashier call a staff member if a situation should arise, if a customer has any other questions, or if additional assistance is needed. Please remember that the store entrance should never be left unattended.
• Be standing at attention whenever there are customers waiting in line and/or when customers are approaching the store. Standing also ensures that proper distancing is being followed; you can move as necessary to maintain appropriate distance. You may sit in the chair during times when no customers are waiting or approaching but please stand when customers are present.
