10-Point Checklist
1. Customers should order online or by phone if possible
2. Have customers pre-pay online or over the phone
3. Establish a process to minimize the time required to complete the curbside transaction
• Advise customers not to use their own containers, reusable bags or boxes
4. Schedule pick-up times

5. Have customers notify you when they arrive by phone or text
6. Load the product into the car if possible

7. For store walk-ups, place multiple signs near entrances about the physical distancing methods being used
and what customers should do
• Have someone available to direct customers
• Set up queue lines at entrances – cones or ropes work well - be sure pedestrians are able to safely use

digitally and leave their contact information.

metres away from cashier
• Have a wireless card reader available outside and disinfect frequently
• Encourage no-contact payment (credit, debit) instead of cash

10. Ensure employees sanitize hands and surfaces after each interaction
