A few interesting tidbits on what we may see in the future - unless ALL retails stores are bankrupt due to the PlanDemic, and all Malls shuttered. ;)

Full Disclosure: I have 18 years of Project Management/Retail Management behind me, post-Army. I managed an IT Section in the Army for a few years; I'm no computer whiz, but I could get projects scheduled and completed on time and on budget for our end users. So, this stuff interests me though I, personally, HATE to shop...for anything...but man I loved to part customers from their cash and give them a great buying experience while I did so when I was working Retail. ;)

I haven’t shopped in retail stores for years other than Lowes, its all Amazon now, delivered in 2 days to my door.

I’m not a window shopper, board up all the malls, I quit them decades ago.

Retailers are using Plexiglas; one-way aisles; earlier opening hours for at-risk populations; frequent disinfection of stores; occupancy trackers; hand sanitizer at store entrances, exits, and check-outs

All of which cause me to sit my happy heinie at home and shop online. If I shop online, I don't have to deal with any of that crap.

Note to retailers: I have never trusted you with my safety. I have no intention of doing it now.

As for your liability risk concerns, and I'll grant you those are huge, get Congress to pass liability protection for you.

Then we can all have a nice retail experience again.

I like store shopping. I don’t want some unknown yayhoo pickin out my meat or produce. We dont travel or have friends, we live rural. I like going to a store with a list. I HATE the mask, I hang it off my glasses, I can’t stand it touching my face but I’d still rather do my own shopping.
