Even when grocery workers are prioritized, they still face long waits. "The politicians and the health departments have been singing the praises of grocery workers but now they have been silent.”Major food retailers say they are doing their part to get their workers vaccinated. But for many grocery workers, the realization that they won’t be eligible any time soon adds to the sense of being expendable. Over the past two months, there have been 137 COVID-19 outbreaks in Southern California grocery stores, and 500 Houston grocery workers have been infected, according to the UFCW. The union knows of 124 grocery workers who have died since the start of the pandemic.

Scaled-back Thanksgiving plans leave turkey farmers in limbo

Read full article: Scaled-back Thanksgiving plans leave turkey farmers in limbo

Many turkey farmers are worried their biggest birds won't end up on Thanksgiving tables. Fewer people at Thanksgiving tables means many families will buy smaller turkeys, or none at all. That leaves anxious turkey farmers and grocers scrambling to predict what people will want on their holiday tables. It’s a gamble, because the birds gain a lot of fat and flavor in their final few weeks, but she figures customers will want smaller birds. Butterball — which typically sells 30% of America’s 40 million Thanksgiving turkeys — said it’s expecting more gatherings, but it’s not convinced people will want smaller turkeys.

Last week, Starbucks announced that customers who visit its company-owned café locations in the U.S. will be required to wear face coverings. Costco Wholesale Club was one of the first major retailers to require face coverings for customers at all of its stores. Walmart said that it's currently working on different options for customers who don't show up with a face mask. Social media is full of videos capturing clashes between those who are asked to wear masks, and employees who are under orders to make sure people wear them. About half of U.S. states require masks in public places, according to the RILA.

Copyright 2019 CNN(CNN) - Kroger and Walgreens are becoming the latest major retailers to stop selling e-cigarettes amid public concern over vaping-related illnesses and deaths. The announcements, which Kroger made on Monday and Walgreens on Tuesday, came just weeks after Walmart made a similar announcement, citing regulatory uncertainty. Walgreens said it will stop selling amid "developing regulations in a number of states and municipalities." Andrew Cuomo announced an executive action to ban the sale of most flavored e-cigarettes in the state on September 15. In September, Kroger and Walgreens asked customers to refrain from carrying firearms into their stores, even in states where open carry is legal.

Kroger to start selling longer-lasting avocados this week

Scott Olson/Getty Images(CNN) - Kroger will start selling longer-lasting avocados to reduce waste and save money. This week the company will start selling avocados treated with a plant-based solution that helps slow down decay. Kroger will sell the avocados, asparagus and limes at the same price as untreated versions of the produce. Last year, Kroger partnered with Apeel to sell avocados treated with the new product in about 100 of its midwestern stores. Apeel and Kroger expect the partnership to help prevent millions of avocados from ending up in landfills, which should help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images(CNN) - Walgreens is asking customers to no longer openly carry guns into its stores in states where open carry is legal, the company announced Thursday. It joins fellow retailers Walmart and Kroger, which announced similar policies the day before. Watts said Moms Demand had been pushing Walmart and Kroger to stop allowing open carry since 2014, and Walgreens since 2015. Watts said that in addition to keeping employees and customers safer, asking customers not to openly carry guns in their stores puts these retailers on a new side of the gun debate. "Prohibiting open carry sends a very strong cultural signal that companies are siding with the safety of families," Watts said.

Scott Olson/Getty Images(CNN) - Kroger is requesting customers no longer openly carry firearms into its stores, even in states where open carry is legal, the company announced Tuesday evening. Kroger stopped selling guns last year. The grocer had earlier stopped selling guns to people under 21 and pulled sales of magazines featuring "assault rifles." In its statement, Kroger said it would be "respectfully asking" that customers no longer openly carry guns in its stores, except for authorized law enforcement officers. Store workers can ask customers who do not abide by the signs to return the guns to their cars or leave the store, Scruggs said.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images(CNN) - Looking for more proof of just how hard it is for traditional retailers to compete in a world that's increasingly dominated by Amazon? Nordstrom and Gap are the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 so far this year. Several other big brick-and-mortar retailers are among the market's biggest losers of the first half of 2019. All of those companies have recorded sluggish sales and profits as consumers increasingly shop online. And Home Depot, which faces less competition from Amazon and online shopping in general, is up more than 20%.
