"Dollar General announced it will be giving its employees a monetary incentive to get the Covid-19 vaccine. If employees are vaccinated, they will receive four hours of pay.

The company, headquartered in Goodlettsville (TN), is one of the first big retailers to provide their employees with incentive to get the vaccine.

"We understand there may be barriers with our employees getting the vaccine and so we want to help remove those barriers," said spokesperson Crystal Ghassemi, "so while we are not requiring it, we are encouraging it."

2. Be nice if they would enforce wearing a f'in mask in the store too

Maybe they do in some places but around me there are maskless customers and employees who seem to be just fine with that.
