Clean floors, bathrooms, and hygienic surfaces are on the top of the list of things that matter, including large and small shopping carts and baskets. So many customers don’t use personal shopping carts, but many of them are relying on those shared ones.

No one should expect employees to wipe down every single cart after every use, so grocery stores might consider installing wipe stations near cart locations. It will allow customers to wipe down their shopping carts, but also sanitize their hands before every usage.

On the same note, the best grocery stores will have several hand sanitizing stations in different spots on the store, especially near areas that could possibly harbor bacteria or many germs, like the meat and eggs, next to checkout, and by the hot/cold food bars.

While not every customer might utilize these stations, those who will do will definitely reduce the large number of germs in the store. This will keep proper maintenance, having a clean, and safe environment that shoppers will definitely notice and appreciate.
