They packed customers in, and with customers and employees on top of one another, social distancing was impossible. It’s a matter of time before it is responsible for a cluster of new COVID cases in the community. Entirely irresponsible and unacceptable behavior. The charity doesn’t mean anything — respect the community you serve and adjust your operating capacity. DO BETTER.
