Yes we have to remember the frontline workers the are our heroes. No matter what capacity the work in. I always appreciate them and I am sure we all appreciated and think of them more with this Pandemic going on.

great thread to let everyone know how the front line workers are being appreciated.

What great companies to show appreciation to those hard working workers. So nice to see.

That is amazing! :)

@princessjen , any kind of printed or electronic pay stub that is recent and then you give photo id:shrug:

Local station ran a segment today about the cross-border truckers finding it near impossible to have places to eat, to shop or to use bathroom/shower facilities. They are limited to their truck bunks for sleep and on Twitter, some truckers scarcely see family during a 5-day period. That's an oversight-not having trucker facilities open for truckers.

$10 off 20L gas fill up at Pioneer and Ultramar (non circle K locations only, until April 17

should be all active workers. everyone is risking something out there.
