PERSPECTIVE OF FRONTLINE SAVIOURS : KIRANA STORES & CHEMISTS !!

 

(location: a normal day chemist's shop in lockdown)

As, we all have been in situation where we stopped all our work because of pandemic or loackdownand we have seen the case of migrant workers also going back yo their villages hundresds of miles away .

but we havn't discussed about the people who have not took any holiday even in lockdown or during pandemic because of our needs . i am talking about our frony line saviours i.e certain set of individuals at the frontlines—the men and ladies running those teeny kirana stores and chemists that are giving their services unstopped.

we can talk about our neighbourhood grocery store, and in it there are tow sales boys, one cashier and four customers in a hurry. It is actuallly not only the buyer which is in concern but the shopkeeper and all the persons working the store are the most to tensed ones because when you enter in the store with the mask , you say the item and the worker rtheir put it on the counter and you give the money by cash or by paytm mostly nowadays and comes out of the store and remove the mask and brehe . but now think about the shopkeeper and his workers.

Those people which are in the store aren’t as lucky as many sitting in their homes because They have working been in there from 9 in the morning. It’s 6 pm now. They’ll be there well past sundown. In a normal day, they would have encounter close to 500 customers walking in over 11 hours, at a rate of almost 40 per hour, or four every five minutes. That’s a lot of people. And a lot of touch points.

Now talking about the chemists perspective they how ever are a bit more intellectual and are doing things which prevents virus someway or the other but they are also providing services 24*7

what they have didi is all the staff has put a rope and put the shutter half way, and isn’t allowing customers in and they communicate verbally. The things which happens earlier are now happening outside the shops as most of Customers, with many brandishing prescriptions, try to get the medicines of the men in the store. They’re shoulder to shoulder, almost touching earch others bodies. so twhat they did is that the owner had actually drawn circles metres away from each other, for customers to stand. Here, it evidently didn’t matter. They wanted their dose, never mind if they ran the danger of needing stronger medication later.

It’s 8 pm. The gates of the kirana store collapse to an in depth . You try to urge into the shoes of these sales boys. In seconds, you’re back on your smartphone.

all in all if wee see the frontline men and women working to protect and provide us with the needs are at most danger and encoraging them will help to do more towrds the covid-19 situation.
