The order applies to "big box" stores in the state as a way to increase social distancing between customers during the coronavirus crisis.
State officials in Vermont are ordering large retailers that sell critical items such as food and prescription drugs to stop the in-person sale of nonessential products such as clothing and electronics.
The directive, announced Tuesday by Vermont's Agency of Commerce and Community Development, was addressed at "big box" retailers.
Whenever possible, stores such as Walmart, Target and Costco must stop the sale of nonessential items within the store and require online or telephone ordering, delivery, and curbside pickup instead.
Big box retailers generate significant shopping traffic by virtue of their size and the variety of goods offered.
“This volume of shopping traffic significantly increases the risk of further spread of this dangerous virus to Vermonters and the viability of Vermont’s health care system. We are directing these stores to put public health first and help us reduce the number of shoppers by requiring on-line ordering, delivery and curbside pickup whenever possible, and by stopping the sale of non-essential items," Agency of Commerce and Community Development Secretary Lindsay Kurrle said in a statement.
The items that cannot be sold in person include, but are not limited to, arts and crafts, beauty supplies, carpet and flooring, clothing, consumer electronics, entertainment, furniture, home and garden, jewelry, paint, photo services, sports equipment and toys.
Stores are ordered to close aisles, close portions of the store or remove items from the shelves.
The agency also said showrooms and garden sections of large home improvement centers should be closed unless there is a life-threatening emergency.

All government workers are deemed, essential. So with a need call, they get it delivered. Because essentially, it’s essential, declared the essential. Free of charge.
That’s essential! :-)
I think that’s what HL’s complaint is....while WalMart is selling things like craft items, furniture, etc....Hobby Lobby, who sells same....is closed.
Dictator governors. Many also now think they can practice medicine and tell doctors what they can or cannot prescribe.
Candy?
despite the state (IL) shelter in place the local laffy taffy factory is operating around here
it is “essential”
Blow back here, craft stores back in business, but compliance measures. Limited customers in stores
everything is essential
they can determine it for themselves, just like planned parenthood can.

I was a nuclear submarine officer. I hate to tell you how much stuff had to be jury rigged at sea or scrounged ashore because required parts, tools and supplies weren't on hand or in the system.
So if you think central planning works especially in the military, you are dead wrong. American military know that and so they know how to improvise. It's the strength of our democracy.
And yes, I am also talking about the average Joe. But you think you know better. So you are just like the useless bureaucrats who surround me here in DC.
Try a need call to the government bureaucracy and see what you get. That's what Trump has had to get past to get stuff done.
Sieg Heil indeed!
Either the store is open or it is not.
They get “it” delivered to themselves.
Ace Hardware & Tractor Supply are open all over Vermont and we can get everything you listed, plus a whole lot more.
And this post right here is why we are screwed: so called conservatives wanting to be like Communist China. What’s next that’s acceptable to some of you;welding people into their homes?
Eye opening.
Why? That’s insane. People need things.
Last weekend the remote for my big screen smart TV broke. I was able to go to Wal-Mart and buy a universal remote to replace it. Can you IMAGINE how much it would have sucked to have no TV during this lockdown?
....”You are picking and choosing winners and losers”....
Not what this is about...The big stores carry everything people need under one roof....food, pharmacies, hardware, electrical etc.....you won’t find at the corner clothing shop. It’s a matter of consolidating supply lines and such.
actualy the crazzy communist’s pretending to be socialist do us a favore by this shitt...lesson for Vermont don’t vote for theses people...now maybe next election some people will be voted out of office.

I don’t think filling a Walmart packed with people like it is Black Friday so they can wonder around looking at all kinds and non-essential or semi-essential items spreading a virus is the way to go
Do you?
Does Amazon sell tar and feathers, ‘cause we have a need for them.
