I work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood,which gets a lot of regulars.On March 12,the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic（流行病）of coronavirus.
The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen.The six cash registers had to be kept open until close.It was nuts.I didn't have time to eat lunch,and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom,we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us.
Since then,the atmosphere in the store has been different.Customers are mostly consider
ate,but whenever someone coughs or sneezes,everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow.I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups.One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head,with a slit cut out for his eyes.
A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic.Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work,but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage.I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.
There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos.I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work.I know everyone is worried,but it's useless having the same scary conversations day after day.Instead,tell us a funny anecdote,or about something nice.We'll appreciate the distraction,and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.
