“Normally we have free cookies we give out, but we don’t do that anymore. We also have a bagel [self-service stand], but we don’t have that anymore. They tell us to try to stay away from people, but that’s extremely hard. We’ve been very, very busy. We have people here at odd times that are not normal. We go through stock like crazy. I’m making bread all day.

A lot of people have been thanking me for working still. I mean, I need my paycheck just as much as the next guy.”

Q: Do you feel uncomfortable working?

A: “No, not at all. Publix keeps our stores very, very clean. We keep everything sanitized, everything fresh. I wipe down everything with sanitizer every night. All the things we do- that’s the only reason I feel so comfortable.”
