that’s great but how is it relevant to Etsy? They’re mostly made up of tiny businesses run by individuals working from their own homes. There’s no stores to close.
I was making a general point and its relevant to delivery. Because in general employees will remember those bosses who treated them right and reduced risk and those who didn't and customers will remember too.
If I found out that any employer was treating their workforce badly during this crisis, for example by putting delivery drivers or retail staff at unnecessary risk, then I wouldn't use that company again and if I saw a job going with them, I would not apply to work for them. As I said, my boss did the right thing. So I am eager to work for her again and recommend others to and recommend people shop there
Take hairdressers as an example of a small business. Some hairdressers might have shut early during the crisis and left a message on their shop door, or on social media, saying we are completely closed until the government advice says it is safe to serve our customers again. Another hairdresser down the road, might have a message on the door or social media saying the shop is closed but you can still call this number tel * (the obvious inference being that they are still in business and doing home visits). I wouldn't work for, or be a customer of the latter in the future. To me, they are putting their workforce, their customers and the wider community at risk. Presumably they are still ordering hair dye, hair extensions etc online and someone has pack it ,and someone has to deliver it too
I know I'm not the only one to notice, as social media tells me that people feel very strongly about these things and how business, large and small, are behaving at the moment. Like I said. They reap what they sow. That's business
