but whether or not they can put it into practice in every store and with every employee is another story.

Updates on our Walgreens COVID-19 response
by Walgreens News

Excerpt:

Our stores have always been at the heart of America’s communities – a role we take very seriously, especially during this unprecedented time for our country. We are doing everything we can to help ensure the health and well-being of our team members and customers during the pandemic, and that includes keeping everyone updated and informed.

I'm confident Walgreens has instructed all employees on safety around customers. They don't want to lose employees with illness and certainly would want to protect customers. Further, if an infection occurs in a store, it would mean possible closure and a huge stain on their pharmacy integrity.

At this time, most all companies with exposures to the general public have a gun to their heads to conduct themselves according to CDC practices and a second gun held by their insurance carriers.

I suggest you call and speak with the store manager and tell them about your experience. Unfortunately, far too many Americans have heard the right things to do but simply are not yet taking it serious enough so that the proper behavior is instinctive.
