PEOPLE's Voices from the Coronavirus Crisis will share firsthand accounts of the people facing unique challenges during a global pandemic
Sarah is a mother of three young kids with another on the way. After being laid-off from her full-time position, she took a part-time job at Trader Joe’s – which she then voluntarily left amid the coronavirus pandemic to focus on the health of her family and herself.
Trader Joe’s is one of the best employers that I’ve ever worked for, and it was only a part-time job. They said I can come back whenever this calms down. So, I just had to make a call for my health. They said, “It’s more important that I’m out of harm’s way” because it is a very front-line position. But making the decision was hard. I wouldn’t call it lucky, but I was semi-lucky enough to be able to go on unemployment back in late January because I was laid off my regular full-time job. So, we were already taking a cut, losing full-time income for unemployment. Any extra money I was making was contributing to the house — that was our grocery money, our gas money, whatever it would be.
When I was working at Trader Joe’s, I found, in general, that the customers we dealt with were very patient and understanding. They understood that it’s an uncertain time. I never really came across a difficult customer. I actually was given a Dunkin Donuts gift card from a customer, thanking me for coming in.So everyone was pretty orderly and Trader Joe’s does a really good job of controlling that environment.
