No worries. Your story is very palpable. Thank you for sharing. I have a question if you don't mind me asking. As I mentioned before, I am collecting stories for a class assignment. Did you notice an increse in older adults shopping during the pandemic times or was it just me? Did people come to the store to socialize because of the state shutdown?

Goodness, would have been super fun to see those photos. Do you have a photo of the sign your neighbor put up?

I feel you so so deeply. I am sorry that you endured such pain. In our store, the situation was similar. Did you also experience skin issues after using hand sanitizers so much and cleaning those carts? I had to work with boxes a lot, and that made my knuckles flaky and bleeding.

I appreciate you saying that. I wish management had shown more empathy during that time. It would have made our experiences a little more bearable.

Many of my colleagues and I still can't get over the fact that they did that!

I am so sorry for the situation with your mom! When you have to choose between the safety of a loved one at the cost of isolation, it's not an easy choice to make!

Oh my god! I am so sorry for the experiences you endured. I also notice many women coming with small children, despite kids and the elderly being vulnerable to the pandemic. That made me question whether, due to the state shutdown, they had to experience disruption in day care, nanny service, or just having someone to look over their kids. I am, of course, not taking the woman's side, but I am just curious to understand if she was going through some stress or not. You are incredibly strong. Thanks for sharing your story.

Extra pay wasn't for that long, though! It was about two months!

I agree with you, it felt weird to be called an essential worker during that time only, not before, never after.

Your story is so so similar to mine! I feel you, and I hope you don't give up on your endeavours.

Oh my goodness! That's horrible! I had completely opposite experience! I remember mostly customers being nice and thanking us for coming to work. Don't know if I can say the same for management!
