Message From Holland And Barrett

Also a similar one from the Body Shop...both in my inbox


Dear......

Amid the developing coronavirus situation, I wanted to take the time to reassure you of the actions we are taking as a responsible health and wellness retailer at this time.

The health of both our customers and our team members is our biggest priority. We are closely following the advice of Public Health England and the World Health Organisation and introducing a wide variety of measures to minimise the impact to public health.

Cleaning in our stores has been intensified, with our teams requested to regularly sanitise their hands, and to maintain distance when working with customers, including encouraging customers to use contactless payments where possible. Sampling activities have also been temporarily suspended as an additional precautionary measure.

Any of our team members who show even mild signs of flu-like symptoms have been advised to follow the government advice surrounding medical care and self-isolation, and we are ensuring that team members are supported fully during this time.

We know that in times like these, it’s more important than ever that you are able to access the healthy food, vitamins and supplements you need. All of our shops remain open and ready to help. For those of you who don’t currently want to be out and about on the high street all of our store products, and further extended ranges, are available online at hollandandbarrett.com. Please feel free to make use of the home delivery or click & collect service.

We will continue to monitor the situation and follow direction given by the government and will take whatever action is necessary to protect the health of our customers and our teams.

Tony Buffin
CEO, Holland & Barrett

i hd a message from my milkman to say a he come so early, he probably wont see me but if i do see him, could i please stay 1 metre away

[bookbinder]

The young woman who cuts my hair said that some customers don't just put their money into her hand, they throw it at her!

[Old_Geezer]

Ask the milkman to wipe down the bottles, when he's delivered, with an antiseptic wipe.

Does the hairdresser throw their change back ?

[Prudie]

Had loads in my inbox too. I just delete them. There will hardly be a single company that won't be putting out some similar message - de rigeur. Even had one from Talktalk guaranteeing keeping my internet going if I'm stuck at home.

[Old_Geezer]

Ask Talktalk if you or your PC can catch the virus by surfing their website.

OG, I'm not tipping so much these days as frankly, I'm disappointed with the standard of the work

OG, she didn't say anything about the change. I suspect that she was a bit short,[iin giving it [i]back[i], be[i]sides.]

Currys emailed me with the same reassurance of customer care and commitment to a healthy trading environment. Pass the sick bag Alice.
Meanwhile the local builder has a notice on his van......"No hand gel kept in the vehicle overnight".

[ubasses]

Had the same two, plus similar from Boots.

[Maydup]

I had to write and send out exactly that kind of messsage at work last week, but its very likely we'll be shut down anyway soon.

[pastafreak]

There must be a hand gel black market by now. I bet there's loads of gel and paper products on the shelves shortly, as surely all the manufacturers and suppliers must be scrambling to get more on the shelves as quickly as possible.

[237SJ]

It's just the companies frantically trying not to go bust.

[bobbie22]

I was told yesterday by a member of staff in my bank that they MAY be closing soon.

I loved the local clothes shop offering free hand sanitizer with every purchase
