Gov. Ivey proclaims Supermarket Employee Day in Alabama By Jonathan Grass | February 22, 2021 at 6:27 PM CST - Updated February 22 at 6:27 PM
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Monday was a special day for grocery store workers around Alabama.
Gov. Kay Ivey proclaimed Monday as Supermarket Employee Day in Alabama.
At a press conference with the Alabama Grocers Association, the governor thanked the grocery store workers for being on the front lines and continuing to work while many other businesses closed due to the pandemic.
Ivey remarked how working from home is not an option for grocery store employees because “we simply cannot go without basic supplies.”
Supermarket employees have served as a lifeline for many during the coronavirus pandemic that s killed more than 500,000 Americans thus far.
They have restocked shelves after runs on toilet paper and hand sanitizer, sterilized grocery carts and done deep cleans after closing time. They ve handled long lines in the checkout lanes and prepared online orders for home delivery.
Now the industry is showing its gratitude to the essential workers who kept it going during COVID-19.
