Where I live (not the US) the same thing is happening, except that although the big stores are open they cannot sell nonessential items. They have those aisles roped off.
- favorited 6y agoThat's what's supposed to be happening in CA right now. The 2nd shelter-in-place order stated that, even if you are an essential business, you were not allowed to operate non-essential components of your business.

- favorited 6y agoThey could still use aisles for transit, but if you're a hardware store with a garden area, you'd just need to close that one section. Though I'm sure you could make a case that someone gardening in their yard is essential, because it reduces their grocery store trips if they're growing food.
