Extended hours

[Anelmi]

Anyone else get the news that store hours will be extended next week? Schedules have already been written so ETLs are scrambling to see who will extend.

I’m surprised Corp is doing this before Thanksgiving seeing as the virus is wreaking havoc once again and many places are going back to curfews and whatnot.

Yeah all stores are 7am to 11pm right? Unless covid has you locked down earlier or later.

Im not surprised. Im not in today but considering the made my group mandatory overnight truck unload 3 days before it started.

Announced at my store today, not really surprised. Wish my shifts would start earlier because another hour of being around guests isn't really top of my "yay!" list. At least it won't be busy that first hour.

The question is, why now? I think it said on Workbench that extended hours wouldn’t start until December. With increases in Covid-19 nationwide, are they anticipating localized lockdowns or just increased guest traffic so are trying to spread out the number of guests in the store at anytime?

I was about to post about this. I am not surprised. Spreading out the number of guests in the store is not a bad idea, but it isn't going to spread it out by much. I think it all boils down to corporate greed.

Crackdown on cleaning procedures. 2 hours before store opening to disinfect the store.
