• Cleaning commonly used areas more often, including cashier stations, credit card terminals, conveyor belts and food service counters, and cleaning shelves when restocking products.
• Cleaning and sanitizing our self-serve coffee and soup stations, as well as offering ways for customers to sanitize their hands both before and after utilizing the station.
• Sanitizing restrooms more frequently and restocking with supplies, including soap and paper towels.
• Wiping down shopping carts, baskets and equipment.
• Partnering with our suppliers to replenish high-demand preparedness products.
