Expiry Date:

I agree with this rule. Selling expired products is dangerous and can hurt our store's reputation but I’d like clearer instructions on how often we should check for expired items to avoid any confusion

Employee Hygiene Standards:

I believe keeping good hygiene is very important for safety and customer trust.

Waste Management:

I support and understand the need of good waste management as it's an essential part of running a convenience store. I would prefer if I got more specific guidelines on recycling and waste disposal to make sure we handle it properly.

Minimum Wage & Working Hours:

I believe that the employees should be paid fairly but following this rule could be difficult during busy times. This rule could make things difficult when the store has a lot of customers. I suggest we allow some flexibility in the work hours and the wages.

1. My equipment is and has been working fine for the past year, and I do equipment checks every 6 months, hiring people to do the checks and repairs isn't cheap as well, will these expenses be covered by the government?

2. I always keep my store in sanitary conditions, but if i throw away my food when they are out of date, it would be a waste of money throwing out food that are perfectly good, I eat food that has been expired for 10 days ALL THE TIME and look how I turned out official, so I think you should let me keep foods that have been expired and let me sell them for 7 more days until I have to throw them out.

3. My store already has gloves and mask in stock so i have no objection to these rules.
