Ollie's Bargain Outlet Why Are You Not Cleaning Your Shopping Carts & Not Giving Cleaning Supplies To Your Employees To Clean Counters, Etc.? You Are A Deep Discounter & I Find It Hard To Beleive You Cannot Get These Supplies To Help Keep Your Employees & Customers Safe???

I was shopping at Ollie's Deep Discount over the weekend and was a bit shocked when I got to the checkout counter and inquired if they clean the shopping carts. I was shocked and dismayed to find out they do not. The clerks had no masks on either. When I left that store I cleaned everything down the best I could in the car. I was also disappointed that they did not even have a sign reflecting that the carts are not cleaned on a regular basis. They did not even attempt to have cleaning solution in spray bottles along with paper towels so customers can clean their own shopping carts.
I felt dirty when I left that store, I really did. I carefully placed my purchases in the car. When I arrived home I used disinfectant to spray the outside of the shopping bags and then I individually cleaned off the items I purchased before I put them away. I did have sanitizing wipes in my car and roughly cleaned the outside of the shopping bags in the car.
I am grateful for the 10% coupon you sent me in the mail but was it worth the hassle of shopping at your store? For goodness sake take a little more concern for not only your customers but mainly the health and well being of your store employees. The grocery store a few doors down takes concern for their customers/employees and you should do the same in this little period of time that we are all making an adjustment to.
I drove about almost 40 miles to shop at this particular store because I do like the selection of items you offer. So, when you allow seniors (not high school or college but older adults that is) to shop the first store hour open are they really not shopping in a clean/disinfected store setting like we would assume? I present to you a few questions/concerns that maybe can be addressed in the next mailing you send out to your loyal customers. These are my thoughts and concerns.
I am on a roll now. I recently went to the office to do a bit of paperwork catch up and was shocked to learn there are no cleaning supplies given to those that still go to the office and work and not telework. No masks or gloves distributed also. We share copier machines and an older person uses their own cleaning supplies to clean the copier and cabinets on their own. I was shocked to see there is no list posted at these copiers showing when and how often they are being cleaned or even the rest rooms/break rooms how often they are being cleaned during the day. I cannot believe this. It is like everyone that works in the building during these times are on their own to make sure their space is cleaned by themselves. Thank God I have and still do keep cleaning supplies with me at my desk.
The last time I was in the building weeks ago prior I inquired of how often the door handles were being cleaned at the entrance doors and I guess from that inquiry they are at least being cleaned now every hour. I was told the other day, they still continue to do that practice. I am blessed to be at home in the safety of my home to telework but I have strong concern for my co-workers. There are people in the building that are older in age and who is looking out for them? Lord my prayer today is to make this right for them and for us that do come into the building on occasion also. Until this is fixed keep them safe and protected. I plead/speak forth that the building is covered with the blood of Jesus protection outside and inside. Give management divine wisdom to address this. Bless all that they (employees) place their hands upon because they are there and they do bless others in a big way with the work that is handled on a daily basis. I speak blessings upon the loyal employees and keep them and their families safe & protected. In Jesus name I pray this Amen.
