GEORGE TOWN: Limiting customers to two hours at retail premises, including shopping malls, will not badly impact businesses because many consumers are used to strict measures, say retailers. Clothing store assistant Angel Soon, 48, said most retailers had been operating with more stringent Covid-19 precautions before the tightened standard operating procedure (SOP) was announced. “It does not matter if people are only allowed to stay for one or two hours. Shoe store supervisor Kenny Lee, 40, agreed that the tightened SOP would make little difference to retail stores. However, sales assistant Christina Soon said limiting customers’ time to two hours in her optometry shop would have a bad impact.
