    I believe companies can simply declare themselves engaged in essential commerce. If they can't self-declare it seems to be a pretty low bar to be declared essential. I doubt the Feds are putting a lot of effort into strictly policing what is/is not essential until someone gets caught.

    I went last week. You never seen a bunch of old farts move so fast when that store opened. Mad race to the toilet paper aisle. I'm surprised they didn't have some EMTs standing by with some oxygen. Me and the guy that unlocked the store were cracking up.

    By that reasoning, stores like WM and Target should not be allowed to sell clothes, electronics and a lot of other stuff they sell. They should have the grocery and pharmacy condoned off and allow not on to shop in the rest of the store.

    If it stays in parking lots, that's a best-case scenario.

    Hobby Lobby sells nothing but Arts and crafts, glitter, glue, picture frames, and plastic floral arrangements.

    Outside Walmart's grocery haul, they have pharmacy items, hardware items, automotive products, baby/childcare lines, pet food and equipment, clothing, emergency preparedness rations.. such as batteries and charcoal, etc.

    That's why WM is open and HL is closed.

    Now, if you wanna debate whether Karen and Jason should have all 5 of their brood piled in a buggy or wallowing around on the floor instead of just ONE adult doing the shopping... that's an entirely different matter.

    Man, I was at pilot in Wood river NE and I was waiting for a lady to finish making her coffee so I can make mine. Her tone when she asked me if she was in my way or something. I told her that I was just keeping my distance and her reply was oh I forgot about that. WTH lady? What cave did did you just come out of?

    I just went to a Walmart in Mississippi, PACKED! I’m talking at least 800 people in the store. So I agree, why do all these packed Walmarts get to stay open and allow hundreds upon hundreds of customers to come in clearly spreading the virus when other stores are forced to close?

    so, you need underwear or blue jeans, or a pair of sneakers, you should not be allowed to have clothing to wear?

    i went there a few days ago to buy my gun cleaning cloths, and cleaning fluid, a very essential purchase.
