It would have to be a miniature version of what is occurring in the supermarket. This may require shielding and better video surveillance to eliminate close interactions. Staffing has to be maintained differently, you may have to either limit hours of operation to cover dual staffing or increase staffing across the hours of operation. Since labor cost is a high cost for most employers, this will have to be decided carefully and not from the shareholders’ viewpoint of straight profit.

Many employees that never previously worked from home were allowed to do so during the shutdown, by necessity. Perhaps some of those employees — myself included — could continue working from home, at least part of the time, which would facilitate social distancing in the workplace.
