Booksellers Face Difficult Decisions When Reopening Stores - Publishers Weekly

Today Panzer decided to make a stop at the Publishers Weekly site. With no digging at all in the posts our brave kitty boy found a post about bookstores reopening.

Workers are paid to stay home now.
The post by Ed Nawotka is about what will happen as states relax the stay at home rules for the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and bookstores begin to reopen.  The post quotes extensively from bookstore owner Donna Paz about what she believes will be the extent of decisions owner will need to make before the reopen. Owners will need to decide how many hours to operate, how many and which employees to hire back, and how to have employees interact with customers. She also addresses if employees will even be ready to return to work and interact with customers. Also, customers may not be ready to shop in stores as they did before the pandemic.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Workers may not want to come back to work until they're sure this virus thingy is gone."

Note: This is a long-medium length post. Bring a cup of tea and three chocolate chip cookies for today's reading selection.
