I’m an antiques and vintage shopper, among other things. Every one of those places was CLOSED UP TIGHT. Do you know how sparsely those places are shopped? 6 feet apart was always more than common. Hell, I might’ve been one of a handful of customers in the places. It still rankles me. I like small mom and pop businesses. I love to support small businesses, having grown up in a family business. Non-essential?! To hell with that. Every effin’ penny was essential.
Instead we got stuck doing our clothes and *other* shopping at Walmart and Target and the grocery store for months on end. Along with everyone else. Go this direction, don’t go that one.
A freaking year later, I was allowed to go into Target and try on clothing. May I remind you that there was a no returns policy for all that time? Good grief. Change a size or two (up or down) and you’re screwed if it didn’t fit. I’m glad I had no growing kids.
Maybe you live in Florida with a great governor. Mine is a freaking RINO.
“Go this direction, don’t go that one.”
I remember the arrows on the floor but completely ignored them as did many others here. I also remember Gov Inslee directing that pot shops would be considered “essential”. Yes, I recall that no returns were allowed but that didn’t last long here. Some people would go in and exchange clothing items for different sizes on the racks on their own (how do I know that?). Best not have security tags, though. I also remember that at Jack-in-the-Box (fast food restaurant) that although they were accepting cash, the employees could not take it directly out of your hand. Instead, the money had to be placed on the counter and picked up from there. And they would not hand you change or the order. There were lots of crazy practices that seem ludicrous now.

Both big Democrat donors? 🤔🤔🤔
