We at the Apollo Environmental Solutions (AES) home base are so impressed by the way Aldi has chosen to be proactive during this current effect on our world.  In fact, we chose to share there story with you toady.  Aldi has made the executive decision to make all aisles one-way only. Simply, this means everyone can go down in one direction this one and up in one direction that way — no one has to risk passing another shopper in oncoming traffic. In our investigation of this new policy in force we chose to be pro-active and seek out what Aldi had to say on their corporate website.  Here is what we discovered and found and want to share with you.  The Aldi statement: Aldis' statement outlining the newest safety updates. Here are the highlights in a nutshell.

• New store occupancy limits: Effective Thursday, April 9, Aldi will limit the number of people allowed inside the stores to approximately five customers per 1,000 square feet. To enforce this rule, the staffer with the carts will be tracking shoppers and letting people in, one at a time. If a (socially distanced) line forms, any medical professionals with identification will get to skip to the front of the line.
• One person per family: Aldi is now asking that customers limit their shopping to one person per family. “We recognize that may not be possible in certain circumstances and will make exceptions for any customer who needs to shop with children, or assist a vulnerable shopper,” Aldi states.
• Temporary one-way aisles: Again, aisles will get a one-way flow to help manage traffic and allow customers to maintain social distance from each other and the team members. In-store signage will direct shoppers through the store.
• Staff health checks: Staffers in the store and warehouse will have their temperatures checked and will have to answer a few basic health screening questions before reporting to work. Any employee with a fever of 100.0 degrees or higher will be sent home. Employees will need to be free of all symptoms for at least 72 hours before returning to work.

Aldi is just one of multiple stores that are in the process of pro-active steps to aide with public safety as we endure Covid-19.  Let's commend corporations like Aldi for their fine job and let them know as a community how much we appreciate their pro-active measures rather than tearing them down by complaining about our favorite food item not being on the shelf.
