Anand Mahindra Shares Video Of Liquor Seller's Unique Contraption To Ensure Social Distancing
He posted a video of a customer buying alcohol at a liquor store with zero physical contact included. In the clip, the shopkeeper is using a chute to deliver the liquor bottles to the customer and collect payment.
The world is slowly trying to get back on its feet and several countries' businesses have adopted unique and creative methods, to decrease the need for contact between people. Since it is advisable and absolutely necessary to practice social-distancing, it is important that there is minimum physical contact between staff and customers.
All delivery, e-commerce or food, are practicing 'contactless' delivery, and even other businesses are encouraging the same concept. An example of the same is visible in a video shared by Indian business tycoon Anand Mahindra.

He posted a video of a customer buying alcohol at a liquor store with zero physical contact involved. In the clip, the shopkeeper is using a chute to deliver the liquor bottles to the customer and collect payment. The customer can be seen standing at a distance from the shop's entrance while the shopkeeper delivers a plastic bottle to the customer through the chute. The customer puts the money inside the bottle and returns the bottle via the chute.
The shopkeeper then returns the change the same way and then asks the customer to collect the bottles he sends next.

Considering that social distancing is here to stay in our lives for the foreseeable future, solutions like these will help us stay safe, and get as close as possible, to a 'normal life'.
