    Like all of the proving ground, folks at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground's commissary are practicing physical distancing. Yet customers still get friendly greetings from staff members like store manager Randy Kreiser. In turn, the customers have expressed their appreciation for the staff’s service throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

    “Ever since this started, everybody says, ‘thank you, guys, we really appreciate you being here for us,’” said Kreiser. “It makes my heart feel good that we are doing something good for the community and that they appreciate it and verbalize it. That makes a big difference to all of us.”

    Most regular items are available in the usual quantity ordered, including meat, bread, and eggs. The exception, however, is items that have been in short supply throughout the nation due to a general shortage of the items within the supply chain: toilet paper, rubbing alcohol, bleach, hand sanitizer, and other similar cleaning agents.

    Despite this, though, today’s situation is markedly improved over that found during the first week of the crisis. Volunteers have helped the store’s employees re-stock shelves rapidly, and patrons have cooperated with new policies like a limit of 20 customers in the store at a given time and mandatory face coverings.
