Thank You
The other day I finally pulled on gloves and headed to Walmart.
As I was scrambling around, trying not to get too close to anyone, buying milk and eggs and, okay, chocolate (for me) and ice cream (for Innocent Husband) for nutritional reasons, I could not help but think about all the employees there.
Cashiers at Walmart are some of the lowest paid employees in this country.
And yet.
There they were. Smiling. Ready to help. They are serving everyone – those people who are healthy, those people who have had Corona Virus, and those that have it now but must take care of themselves and their kids so are up there searching for toilet paper like everyone else.
The cashiers at our grocery stores/pharmacies are exposed to hundreds of people a day. We all have to be able to get food and medicine during this time, and by working there, they’re allowing us to function as a country. Without them, we’ll utterly break down.
It’s brave to even work there right now, it really is.
Thanks to everyone, once again, on the front lines.
I hope you’re all AT HOME and healthy and finding projects to do, books to read, art to start, closets to clean…
