Working together and keeping safe in these COVID-19 times
Who imagined working together through Covid? If ever there were strange and bizarre times to be going through as a community, these are definitely them! Of course, you can always follow the Alberta Health Services recommendations. But there’s lots we can all do to help each other, stay caffeinated & happy, and healthy to boot.
Keep reading for some of the things we’re doing at Cupper’s Coffee & Tea to help keep you caffeinated in these uncertain times! This list is updated regularly and changes based on what’s happening and when… so check back if you have questions.
How our staff is keeping you safe
- We’re working together to sanitize everything! We have a strict sanitizing schedule that we’re following hourly and daily. Water and soap, or water and bleach are our friends.
- Service staff all wears washable, reusable, fashionable masks. (Some of them were made by our wonderful customers who gave them to us!)
- All staff washes and sanitizes their hands regularly.
- We’ve broadened aisles and minimized duplicated areas in our store so you don’t need to get too close to anyone.
- We’ve added taped lines and areas on the floor to help maintain safe spacing.
- Unfortunately, we’ve closed our public washroom for the foreseeable future.
What we ask to keep us all safe
- All customers must sanitize their hands when they enter and we encourage it before you leave too.
- As per City of Lethbridge by-laws, we do ask all customers to wear a mask. If you don’t want to wear one, no problem… we can definitely help you via our Parking Lot Pickup (keep reading for to learn more!).
- We’re managing the number of customers in the store at any one time. If there are too many folks here, we do ask customers to wait outside. Thank you!
- Please don’t pick up or handle products unless you are purchasing it.
- Sadly, we can’t reuse your old bags or refillable containers, nor can we refill coffee mugs or cups. Sorry!
