I can see preventing people from just coming in and wandering around for something to do, but trying to determine what's essential/not in a grocery store??

Reminds me of the old school blue laws in Ocean City. Half the store was roped off on Sundays, you could buy milk but not sunscreen.

I would say toys are pretty non essential at this point. I would also say mulch and gardening supplies are pretty non essential at this point, and trust me, i would love to go to the depot and get me some mulch, just to keep me entertained for a bit. im actually on board with this. People need to stop going out, except for things that are really essential. If walmart and target, etc would get on board with this, i think it would stop some people from going out. Making the stores less crowded would probably be a relief for their employees at this point. Days can get long being around the house, but im thankful i dont have to go to work and increase exposure. IMO wawa, sheetz and the like should be shut down except for gas. Every day another wawa gets shut down because an employee was tested positive. They shut them down, clean them and then re-open. There is your petri dish right there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the process of applying for this with my accountant. It’s a payroll protection program for small businesses up to 500 employees. Businesses receive free money to cover payroll, health insurance and utilities for 2 or 2 and a half months..as long as 75% of it goes to payroll expenses the loan is forgiven. There’s like 330 billion available and it’s gonna get snapped up immediately. Applications begin being accepted tomorrow. My tiny business could receive in the tens of thousands. Worth a try I guess for a couple hours of work for me and accountant gathering everything and the couple hundred he’ll charge me https://www.paychex.com/articles/compliance/payroll-protection-program Edited April 2, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should shutdown all restaurants because I know those workers in the kitchen are working in close proximity..plus restaurants are encouraging people to go out extra but the workers need the money as well. It’s a slippery slope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a slippery slope. Beer distributer, acme, giant all sell smokes. Truckers can get a quick meal the same exact places you do. BK, wendys, mcdonalds. Truck stops are still open as far as i know. Truckers pulling up to a wawa is 1% of their business, and only half have room for trucks. If i were driving a truck, i would be packing my own lunch anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to go to work and get hungry for stuff. I’m doing like one errand a day before like six and in for the day like 3pm every day. It’s insane and been a struggle for me. So essentially I’m out like 20% as much. Edited April 2, 2020 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if they have a drive thru then that would be a determining factor. Some Sheetz could theoretically stay open through such an order.

PSUFrankenstein Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Yeah I think most fast food is drive thru only right now. I havent really been anywhere except Dunkin Donuts, but most fast food places I've driven by have signs saying only drive thru ordering.
