The owner of Carlton and A1 and Emerald City Supermarkets says his company is going all out to ensure the safety of staff and customers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with strict adherence to social distancing.
That was the promise from managing director Andrew Bynoe after several shoppers found Emerald City Supermarket in Six Roads, St Philip, closed around 7 a.m. yesterday.
Workers had expressed concerns about their safety should the supermarket be filled with shoppers.Emerald City usually opens at 6:30 a.m., and the employees walked off the job at 6:40 a.m., only returning to their posts hours later, which significantly affected breakfast customers.  (BA/JS)
