Restrict PetSmart to online orders with curbside pick-up only during COVID-19 pandemic.
The Issue
This is a difficult time for all of us. People are losing loved ones and fearing for their own personal safety.
PetSmart must act now to protect it's retail teams. The small signs on the window suggesting "social distancing" provide no protection to the employees. The strips of tape 6 feet apart on the floor get completely disregarded by the general public. Customers continue to flood the stores. We are repeatedly being exposed to the invisible threat of COVID-19 daily. There are currently no physical barriers or protective gear available to team members. The stores continue to function as business as usual with the exception of some services no longer being available. We, as employees, strive to offer exceptional service to pet parents and their pets every single day. We cannot continue to do this if we are sick.
There is a solution to this issue. Immediately restrict all stores to online order and curbside pick-up ONLY. This allows the stores to remain open while protecting our teams from the general public. Protect us. Value us.
This is not the time to reach for quarterly goals. This is the time to take aggressive action to protect health and wellness world wide.
Everyday I go to work wondering if today will be the day I get sick. Will I be the reason others get sick? All that being said, I return so I can support my family. Our teams are not being protected, nor are we being compensated in any way for the hazards we are now being exposed to on a daily basis.
-Respectfully submitted demanding immediate change.
