It said it will be taking a number of measures to ensure the health and safety of customers and staff including limiting the number of customers in-store at any one time, allowing two members maximum per group, cashless payment only plexiglass screens at checkouts, service points and planning areas, and social distancing wardens to ensure measures are being followed.
Retail Ireland says they are hopeful that if this can be done safely, the timeline for reopening the entire sector could be brought forward. He appealed to customers to come to shops at quieter times and said that both retailers and shoppers have a responsibility to ensure the first wave of reopening goes well so that others that are due to follow on 8 June can also open their doors. He said it cost about €10,000 per store to ensure social distancing and the protection of staff and customers with measures like signage, hand sanitisers and perspex screens being installed.
Customers will no longer be able to browse and try on glasses at their leisure. They will have to be accompanied by a staff member who offers them a selection frames and then ensures that each one in cleaned and sanitised before it is returned to the display.
Imagine the queues!
SamanthaLibreri How is that possible. The schedule that the government has released puts Ikea into the 29 June date for re-opening. Is this now a negotiable option?
