Use the Purell!

Posted on March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 by Wegmaniacal

Most of you seem to be ignoring the sanitizer stations Wegmans has set up at store entrances.

Please don’t.

Note the sign below the dispenser:

Attention Customers: We politely ask that you apply hand sanitizer before you enter our store.

The stations are not only for your protection, but for that of store employees and other customers.

And they’re free.

(Added note: At least one customer was observed trying to pour sanitizer from the dispenser into a bottle to take home. Don’t bother. The Purell is released as a foam. It’s good for only one thing: rubbing into your hands at the store.

About This Site

Upstate New Yorkers love their Wegmans, with a bond that newer customers in other parts of the East are discovering. As a customer and former employee, I share the obsession.

I launched Wegmaniacal in December 2019, to examine the cultlike following the company has developed since its founding in Rochester more than a century ago.

The site stagnated when I left Wegmans and returned to other endeavors. But with rising grocery prices, lowering environmental regulation, and pharmaceutical challenges, it’s time to resume writing here.

Much of what I have to say is positive. Nevertheless, the company is family owned and most of its operations are conducted in private. As a longtime journalist, I’ll also delve into topics Danny Wegman would prefer to keep behind closed doors.
