"800 Lake drive is not part of a Costco warehouse. It is an unmarked Costco building that contains a two non-essential businesses run by Costco. On the first floor it is a jewelry depot that performs quality control and performs distribution of that jewelry to Costco Warehouses for all the jewelry Costco sells at its warehouses around the world. On the second floor it is a customer service call center. Functions in this building are in no way connected - physically or ideologically - to any “essential business” as per the governor’s order. I work in this building. Costco has refused to close the jewelry depot. After the governor’s order to close non-essential businesses Costco told us at 800 Lake Drive that we can take a month of unpaid leave if we feel we are at risk of coronavirus, but that we’re “too busy to close” and will remain open. This unfairly doesn’t furlough us or qualify us for any government payroll aid. Costco is using its essential wholesale grocery business across the street at the customer retail center as a smokescreen to put all of us jewelry processors at the separate building of 800 Lake drive and risk, and to defy the governor’s order. I cannot give you my name, real phone number, or real email because this information will be public and I fear retaliation by Costco for reporting." - John Doe
