Since mid-March, the number of customers inside the shop has been restricted to one person at a time.
In order to maintain the safety distance, a Plexiglas protective wall has been installed at the checkout. I clean and disinfect my grocery shop regularly, and each customer disinfects his or her hands before entering, using a disinfectant provided.
Of course, I continue to carry out my usual activities and continue to deliver to anyone who wishes to do so, by calling 079 277 86 25 (possibility of contactless payment, milk booklet...).
Also, I still favour my cooperation with local producers and therefore continue to buy their tasty products (Chevrier bakery, Haudères dairy, Forclaz tomatoes, alpine cheeses, home-made jams, eggs from my chickens, wines from regional winemakers (André Vuignier, Jacques Cordonier, Yvon Cheseaux, etc.), Nicole's bear's garlic pesto, Cédric Georges' Evolène beer, honey from the commune, etc.)
