... curbside pickup [allows] small businesses to keep employees [relatively safe from catching COVID-19] while meeting customers’ demand.

Le ramassage en bordure de trottoir permet aux clients de commander et de payer leurs produits à l'avance par téléphone ou en ligne. Lorsque le client arrive au magasin pour ramasser sa commande, le personnel du magasin apporte cette dernière, qui doit être dans son emballage d'origine, au client qui attend dans une zone.

OBS

cueillette en bordure de trottoir; cueillette en bordure de rue; cueillette sur le trottoir : L'emploi de «cueillette» est une impropriété au sens de «collecte» et de «ramassage», car son sens est plus restreint («récolte de végétaux», «produit de cette récolte»).

The main responsibility of a baggage agent is to assist passengers with baggage pickup and resolve issues with delayed, lost, or damaged items. Typically, baggage agents work in an office setting, but deal almost entirely with the general public. Agents respond to passenger concerns both in person and over the phone, and must fill out forms according to the nature of the incident. Baggage agents utilize computer software to track and catalogue luggage. This helps to efficiently resolve problems and maintain customer relations when luggage is late, lost, or damaged.
