What states are closing off nonessentials? They're going to have to rope off the 'nonessential' parts of stores here soon (Ohio) I fear. We're still getting people in just to browse or socialize. Apparel had to get special meetings and counseling because people were arguing about the no trying things on rule, cussing out workers, and taking photos of them. I've had a toy scalper who buys our stock up and sells on the flea market come in three times during one of my shifts. Three. Times. Looking for wrestling figures. Had an entire family of six come in last week and they only bought a decorative cake plate. People are gonna drive me batty.
To unwind I bought some enamel pins from a small online shop I love, then backed a pin kickstarter. I have a love for pins and Kickstarter is a great way to spend some cash right now. The product won't be made for months anyway.
Well - when we've made trips I'd taken the kiddo along because otherwise I'm going to go insane hearing all the complaining about being stuck in the house. And we've at least browsed through various toy aisles and even bought a few. That's keeping my kid sane. The only issue is that there's one particular Walmart we've gone to that's gone to placing Hot Wheels and similar toys behind locked glass sliding doors. I think they had an issue with shoplifting. I'd frankly feel guilty asking someone to come in to unlock it as it's kind of hard to distance and they'd need to stay there until we're done. But it's Hot Wheels. They sell for less than $1 each. It gets even weirder because they have some of them behind glass and some in the aisles unlocked in regular displays.
