Wegmans allows masks

Posted on April 2, 2020November 8, 2026 by Wegmaniacal

Under pressure from employees and a local legislator, Wegmans has altered a policy that prevented workers from wearing masks.

The company added this statement to its press release detailing its response to Covid-19:

The statement did not mention supply of masks, which would seem to imply that employees are responsible for obtaining them on their own.

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.
