Great! A guy in line behind me in Food 4 Less in Hammond, IN said he worked for Lear! Saturday morning March 14th. I let him rest his food on my cart because he was holding his groceries in his arms.

In the best interest of your employees and the public it is reprehensible that you would put your staff and their families at risk, and putting production above safety. Per the CDC recommendations there should be no gathering of over 10 people. You are putting your employees at risk and putting $ over safety.
You should send all employees home on all shifts for 14 days.
