The mask requirement in Victoria got off to a shaky start with some nasty scenes in retail. As time has gone on, it’s become easier to manager, shoppers have been more engaged with the requirement.
Thinking about this and the now clear value in mask wearing, it is a good time to consider how we in retail can better manage the mask requirement – for the safety of everyone in our shops, especially for those to whom it is a work place.
This tweet about mask and temperature checking in Thailand shows a smart and efficient way to handle masks as the entrance to the shop.
My local shops in Thailand. In 2 seconds scans my temperature and to see if wearing mask. Doors don’t open if not. 3 cases in 100+ days here. Removes awkward mask arguments for staff as well. pic.twitter.com/4Eac5fMsLR
