- All workers/coordinators need to park in the back
- At the end of the evening program garbage bags need to be changed. NO combining dirty garbage bags (like we used to do). Each garbage bin requires a NEW garbage bag. This is done Sunday – Wednesday bingos or weekends when there is no late night.
- Masks will be provided by the hall or you can bring your own – these are optional.
- Gloves will be supplied.
- Don’t have your cell phone out on the floor.
- RUN if you are the nearest person to a bingo. The quicker we get the Bingos, the quicker we get to go home! Try and spread out so the whole place is covered and there is always someone close to whoever yells Bingo.
- If you need to go to the bathroom or are on your break, leave your apron at the counter.
- If you are at the counter, they really don’t want drinks or food back there.
- Outside food/drink is not allowed (No Tim Horton’s cups!)
