SUPPORT ALL DRIVE THRU/FAST FOOD SERVICE WORKERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY NOT RECEIVING ANY HAZARD PAY!!!

A blessing to many, Dunkin' Donut's has been deemed essential by the government. In the Atlantic County franchisee, no accommodations have been made for the employees who face a dangerous threat everyday. They put themselves in harms way to provide necessary caffeine and food to those who have long days ahead. For these they face potential infection, only being told to wear gloves, wash hands, and clean what they can. People can be infected by coming into contact with other infected individuals, handling money, and other exchanges. They are working harder than ever, with increased volumes of panicked masses and less staff. They need to be compensated in Hazard pay.

Please be aware these employees are currently not allowed to wear masks or other protective gear that may be appropriate. 

Dunkin's official response to the Covid Virus is this:

Hey, Customer... we got your back!

... And we do! We love to serve our communities and the countless essential workers who depend on us to keep their days going. 

... but Dunkin & other brands need to have OUR BACK! The crews around the country who have been asked to stay open, interacting with the public during this unprecedented event that is testing us all in many ways. 

Please help us send a message to these huge corporations who are currently serving millions of people around the country using the labor of their employees to stay open and continue to make profits. 

We want to work & we want to serve you! We believe that we deserve Hazard Pay that is currently being afforded to Grocery Store workers and others who have the brave choice to keep coming to work so that we can KEEP AMERICA RUNNING! 

We have a saying here at Dunkin’ about how we treat each other: We’ve got your back.

As we navigate through the challenges of COVID-19, I want to reinforce our ongoing actions to ensure the health and safety of our guests, franchisees, employees, and the communities we serve.

“We’ve got your back” means:

For the Restaurants … Our restaurants in the U.S. will have reduced hours and will be limited to drive-thru and/or carry-out-only service. All seating and tables will be removed from the dining and patio areas. We have increased standards on the frequency of hand washing and cleaning procedures, including disinfecting high-use surfaces and high-traffic areas.
For the Restaurant Employees … Our franchisees are taking care of their crew and managers, and are committed to providing a clean and healthy work environment for all employees. To keep everyone safe, we are stressing the importance of social distancing in our restaurants. The reduced operating hours will also allow our restaurant employees to focus on their families as well.
For Our Guests … We’re focused on making your experience as frictionless as possible, whether through our 5,300+ drive-thru locations, On-the-Go ordering and curbside pickup through the Dunkin’ app, or delivery through GrubHub and other providers. Rest assured, we are committed to providing a safe, secure experience at Dunkin’-- offering you something familiar and welcoming amid so much change.  
For more than 70 years, Dunkin’ has been at the heart of the communities we serve, keeping America running and taking care of our guests. We are grateful for the dedication of our franchisees and crew members, who make our brand stand tall every day. We’re continuing our legacy of being there when people need us most by taking these additional steps to be your place of comfort during all of this uncertainty.
