Opening Procedure

This is a reference tool for volunteers on duty that need to open the shop. If any of this is out of date, unclear, or otherwise needs changing, please notify the General Manager or suggest an edit to this page.

Note: this is only to be done when someone is On Duty. If there is no volunteer watching the front door, the shop should remain locked up. Non-members should not be allowed to walk in unless there is someone available to ensure they sign a waiver and supervise them.
