Sheetz designates special hour for high-risk shoppers
Sheetz stores will set aside one hour each on Sunday for customers who are high risk to contract covid-19.
Sundays from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. will be reserved for those who are at a higher risk to contract the disease brought on by the coronavirus.
The program will be implemented this week at all 279 Pennsylvania locations.
“By instituting this reserved shopping hour, we hope to provide higher-risk customers with a more comfortable in-store experience,” according to the company’s news release. “While our store employees will not be checking IDs of customers during this reserved shopping time, we do ask that community members respect this reserved hour.”
Sheetz officials also said all store employees will wear face masks.
Starting at 8 p.m. on Sunday, customers will also be required to have face covering, in according with the governor’s order issued earlier this week.
