Amazon begins temperature checks and will provide surgical masks at warehouses

Our local grocery store chain (Wegmans) finally let workers wear masks last night, as well.

The Trader Joe's near me took the most serious steps so far. They are limiting to 30 people in the store at a time and setup 'lanes' six feet apart for carts to lineup for checkout. When you checkout, they take the cart and have you stand back while they ring up and bag your stuff. When it's time to pay they back up from the register and let you pay and take your own receipt. I say these are the most serious steps because the other grocery stores near me haven't changed much of anything last time I went to them.

It was a little weird at first, but I am willing to go through whatever hoops to make the grocery workers comfortable.

All of these steps have already been going on at my local Whole Foods for almost two weeks now. I don't know if it was a single-store thing or a broader Whole Foods thing, but it has been weird to me seeing people harp on Amazon's response to this when the Whole Foods near me has been the only business seemingly implementing any safety measures.

It was weird at first, but everything went smoothly after the initial weirdness of people obliviously walking past the line in front of the store and trying to go inside only to be told to turn around and stand in line.
