What are the new guidelines for shopping at the Odyssey?
-
Wear your mask. No customers will be allowed in the store without a face covering.
-
Do not come in if you are sick. For the safety of our staff, our customers, and our community, please do not come into the store if you are feeling sick. Our online store is always open.
-
We are limiting the number of customers allowed in the store. There will be a limited number of people permitted on each floor. This includes staff. If the store is at capacity, we ask that you wait outside in a socially distanced line. There will be signage directing you.
-
Social distance from each other, and from our staff. We ask that you keep six feet between yourself and other customers shopping at the store. Pay attention to directions and one-way aisles throughout the store, as many places in the bookstore are narrow and don’t allow for more than one person in the space at once. When in line, keep six feet away from the person in front and behind you. We also request you keep a safe distance from our staff. We are here to help, but we ask you respect our health and safety by making transactions and asking questions from a distance of at least 6 feet.
-
Continue to shop online and utilize our contact-free pick up. We know you are excited to come into the store, and we can’t wait to see you! But the pandemic is ongoing, and so we encourage you to continue to shop smartly and safely, which means shopping online and choosing contact-free pick up, which we offer 6 days a week.
-
Large groups are discouraged. We know you have been stuck at home for a long time, and we are glad to see you out again! But we ask that you minimize the number of people coming into the store with your party. Our capacity is limited for safety and health reasons, so we ask that you limit yourself to one member of the household. Of course, your young readers are welcome to join you!
-
Card transactions are encouraged. Though not required, we ask that you use a credit or debit card as payment, so we can limit contact and protect the health and safety of our employees and customers.
