Unless they’re going to scale up grocery delivery or contactless pickups, I’m not sure it’s going to matter.
I had to pick up a prescription yesterday and everyone was mad rushing and hanging out at the store because nothing else is open. Never seen the parking lot that full and this was in the middle of the day, well into a lockdown.
- celticninja 7y agoshut down or lockdown generally means you can't leave unless you have a good reason such as getting food or medicine it doesn't mean nobody can leave the house ever without the express permission of the government
- claudeganon 7y agoI understand full well what it means, but if you have no limits on how these stores operate and everyone congregating at them, you’re undercutting a lot of your response. See also how businesses are skirting the limits and lobbying behind the scenes about essential vs non-essential work.
- xur17 7y agoI've been surprised by the number of businesses that are classified as "essential". I have a friend that works for a place that is essential, so she still went to the office a few times a week despite being fully able to work remotely.
- celticninja 7y agoat first anything like this has to be done with the cooperation of everybody involved, there are not enough police to enforce something like this. in general most people will operate sensibly, but of course you might get some companies that are still going to try and make that money and will risk their employees and customers for it. some people are selfish assholes
