"I reported this company as a non essential business in April. I also complained about the fact that they were NOT using the protocols set by WA state for being open during the COVID-19 Pandemic!!!!!!One of my family members walked through the establishment and:1) NO Social distancing between customers being enforced2) NO marks on the floors for keeping distance between customers or the staff at the cash registers3) The staff was NOT keeping social distance from the customers4) The bathrooms were open to the public5) NO staff ensuring the carts were being sterilized for the public use6) NO masks being wornTHE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE WAS NOT CARING FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE PUBLIC OR THE STAFF. A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THE FACT THAT THIS COUNTY IS IN A PANDEMIC SITUATION. MY PRIVATE NUMBER WAS RELEASED BY YOUR OFFICE TO THIS BUSINESS. THIS IS A MAJOR BREACH OF MY PRIVACY, THEY HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM NOW BEING HARASSED BY THEM TO COME INTO THEIR FACILITY AND TALK WITH THEM!!!!!MY PRIVATE COMPLAINT OR CONCERNS AS WELL AS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION SHOULD HAVE EVER BEEN RELEASED TO ANYONE BUT THE PROPER AUTHORITY ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES.I WOULD APPRECIATE AND EXPLANATION.THANK YOU & UPSET JULIE GROVER" - Anonymous
