A Salute to Alfamart ‘Frontliners’

COVID-19 has impacted all facets of life for people and companies in more than 200 countries. People and businesses have had to quickly switch gears, evolve and acclimate to entirely new ways of living and operating.

For example, the COVID-19 epidemic has devastated the foodservice and supply industry. Many foodservice operators like coffeehouses, cafés and restaurants were forced to close completely. For all the challenges, convenience stores do have permission to stay open. The government deems their workers essential.

So whether you’re sheltering in place, working from home, or putting in long hours in an essential role, let’s all be grateful that there are groceries, convenience stores, and minimarts that are doing everything they can to safely serve us  — just like Alfamart!

“Alfamart will save us at this point in time,” commending the first and only Super Minimart Chain in the country via Twitter.

Although most of us are on lockdown due to the coronavirus, we still need to go to the grocery store when we’re running low on fresh produce, toilet paper and prescription medications. That’s why apart from the store staff, people are thankful as well for the store chain’s distribution center personnel and truck drivers who keep the supply chain going, ensuring that all groceries, convenience stores, and super minimarts are well-stocked. See the happy tweets below:

Another netizen highlighted how Alfamart cared for its employees in her encounter. When she asked about how the Alfamart cashier gets to work, she was amazed to know that they will still get wages even if they are not able to report for work. Good job, Alfamart!

Other areas also have free shuttle service for the employees. A netizen snapped this photo of the shuttle van parked outside the employee entrance waiting to pick up passengers.

Aside from increased in frequency of cleaning high-touch surfaces, hygiene, and sanitation; Alfamart continues to enhance its standards and procedures for environment safe and comfortable by working hard to supply disinfectant, sanitizers, and PPEs to their staff.

Lastly, while personnel with essential roles in the fight against COVID-19 are deemed worth commending, netizens wherein the government’s enhanced community quarantine is in full-effect, praised the efforts of the other “frontliners” serving in Alfamart stores for giving them a sense of “normalcy” in these trying times.

Let us not forget to thank the ones that serve to meet our day-to-day needs despite the looming threat of disease. Let us make sure that all our frontliners know that their service is greatly appreciated.

And hopefully, stores can learn from Alfamart’s initiatives amid Covid-19 and try to adapt their business to a model that best suits them as well as their consumers during the crisis.
