“We have a procedure where, once a customer
is done with a basket or cart, we grab it from them

Glenn’s is also disallowing the use of reusable
bags for the time being, Kuck said.
Everything in the front end of The Marketplace
store is sanitized on a schedule, every 15 minutes.
Employees spray down carts outside of the build-
ing.

“We wash down the fronts of the stores between
