Why does it matter? Where are they supposed to put the stock? Who decides what is “essential?”
Truly ridiculous!
I think they use a Ouija board to differentiate essential from non. You just can’t make this crap up. Yes we have a virus going around, but if a store is open it doesn’t matter if some aisles are blocked and some open. I guess the virus stops affecting the essential aisles. It is as you say truly ridiculous.
