Brittannie Gulley is a cashier at Stater Bros. Market in Norwalk. Gulley has worked at Stater Bros. Market for 18 years, and throughout the pandemic things have changed for her. "It has been very stressful working in the pandemic," Gulley said. "It's scary because you don't know if somebody has a cold, or the coronavirus." Jan. 13, 2022.
