Businesses the world over have had to weather massive disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As they gradually recover from the shock, some of them have decided to show their appreciation to their employees for standing by them during the tough year.

The latest to do so is owner of a pizza shop in Ohio, United States, who gave an entire day’s profits to his employees to express gratitude.

In a Facebook video on “Employee Appreciation Day,” the owner, Josh Elchert, urged people to buy pizzas and assure that “none of the money” was coming back to the pizza shop on that day.

“Every cent, all the tips, all the orders, anything that comes in today, is going directly to our employees that work today,” he posted.

Mr Elchert has been running the shop for 11 years and on a typical Monday, the shop caters for about 100 orders. But on that particular day, the shop had received about 220 orders and had made about $6,300 sales and $1,200 in tips, it said would be “divided among its employees.” – ndtv.com
