Large Vermont retailers such as Target, Walmart and Costco are now required to limit the sales of nonessential items in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The directive was announced by the Agency of Commerce and Community Development on Tuesday. The agency hopes it will reduce the overall number of people going into stores to purchase items such as clothing, electronics and toys during the state's "Stay Home, Stay Safe" executive order. According to the news release, large retailers must cease in-person sales of items that include, but are not limited to: Arts and crafts items, Beauty supplies, Carpet and flooring, Clothes, Consumer electronics, Entertainment (books, music, movies), Furniture, Home and garden, Jewelry, Paint, Photo services, Sports equipment, Toys.

Its happening in a part of Massachusetts too

yeah, it's not like some of that stuff is the only way people are bringing in income or anything. Or staying sane. Or things that break and need replaced sometimes.

So long as people social distance within the store, what's the damn difference if part is open or all? Arguably the partial opening method might crowd people more.

Makes no sense. You only have 1 phone typically compared to clothing.

My job is essential and I work outside the home. I have only one acceptable pair of shoes right now and the heel is broke on my left shoe. In hindsight, I should've gone to Walmart today to get a pair. Maybe I will tomorrow if it's not roped off where I live.

I was wanting to wait and get a new pair in May for my trip to Orlando, but it looks like that has been postponed.

This is what I thought. Now more people are being funneled to a smaller section of the store.

I think it would be better if they just remove the non-essential items from the sales floor and keep them in the stockroom. Maybe use the empty aisles to spread out the essential items.

No?

How is going to the store once to buy something they don't need keeping people at home better than not having a store that sells things people don't need?

Arent most places offering curbside pickup for what you need so you arent browsing like an asshole anyway?
Don't know about most but yes some places are. I can call BestBuy, place an order, and drive up, call them again, and they bring it out to me.

That's actually a neat idea. More spread out merch = better social distancing. But I imagine many stores wouldn't be wild about the workload and might not have enough stockroom space for all their non-essential items.
