I work at a grocery store(杂货店) in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic (流行病) of COVID-19.
The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a. m. until close. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we'd have to bring in a co-worker off the floor to cover for us.
Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏), everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a hole cut out for his eyes.
A lot of my co-workers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.
There still have been some moments of kindness in the chaos(混乱). I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it's useless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny story, or about something nice. We'll appreciate it, and you'll make our day just a bit brighter.
