Emergency measures!

We’ve had a flu virus sweep through the supermarket staff like a road sweeper sweeping through leaves. It’s ridiculous how many people are off sick this week. Even allowing for some of them taking advantage of the situation and leaping on the bandwagon it’s still alarming. They’ve had to borrow staff from other locations, bring in a few people from agencies and ask the ones who are well to do some extra hours. Tonight they’re actually closing for a few hours so they can have an outside cleaning firm come in and do a top-to-bottom deep clean and try to stop the thing in its tracks. Its been carnage. Thankfully it doesn’t seem to have forced its way across the car park to pollute those of us in the filling station, but that might change yet. I keep getting dragged over to the store to help out the other managers so I’m probably riddled with whatever germ it is we’re dealing with.
