VERMONT ORDERS WALMART, TARGET TO STOP SELLING NON-ESSENTIAL ITEMS

[archives]

didyou ever order clothes onlin? it sucks -they don't fit ( because even by sizes they are not all cut the same).
Then you gotta send it back and wait for a refund all the while walking around naked

Never had a problem, and if you have to stand around naked until your clothes arrived what did you wear when you walked into retailer and bought clothes?

He posted the link to the govt. page detailing the order. He just forgot one minor detail: The governor of Vermont is an (R).

Yea, I saw that.....

I hope he doesn't try to make it a police state..

OK. and that is DIFFERENT then not allowing product purchases

Oh definitely. And how is clothing not an essential item? I noticed shoe stores are closed the other day, and I thought, how the hell can you go without shoes? I'll be needing a new pair of work boots real soon here. Good thing Tractor Supply Company is still open. As much as I like Walmart, you can't get any good work boots there that's for sure.

I needed a new coffemaker yesterday. went to Walmart and was and in andout
Damn if that wasn't an essential purchase!

So had you bought socks, beer or a coffee maker, your exposure would have been pretty much the same..

I live less than five mins from one but I am refraining as much as possible.. I "want" a new elec toothbrush, but not even ordering it on line so someone else has to bring it here, I can wait..

Fortunately I can use old technology to keep it running for now..

A couple wacks on the bathroom sink (aka Irish technology) & it charges .... I am hoping it will anyway till we have the clearance..

Electronics are essential, if one is working at home.

Some things are for sure, some things not for sure.....

State officials in Vermont are ordering large retailers that sell critical items such as food and prescription drugs to stop the in-person sale of nonessential products such as clothing and electronics.

CLOTHING is NON-ESSENTIAL???

Welcome to the Democratic Peoples Republic of Vermont.

Good reason not to live there. Obviously you don't believe in States Rights, but I do. Sad.

You can order clothing on line, and, just like other retailers, most likely you can order over the phone and pick it up curbside or have it delivered, and you got all excited over nothing

Will it fit? Who are YOU to decide what people can sell? That's fascism, dude.

What a bunch of crybabies, they can't get their clothes at Walmart, their work boots are getting old, we got ER personal working twelve hour shifts lacking proper equipment and you people are crying about not being able to shop at Walmart.

True. Walmart work boots suck. Tractor Supply is an excellent store.

We shall see if the people stand up to this nonsense.

Well, Trump said it was a war, and last I knew fighting a war means sacrifices, I don't think not being able to shop at Walmart is a big demand, especially when those fighting are the front lines are asking

put a colored sticker on them or stamp their hands. there are way to control for time in store

You were just in walmart, you wanna go around tagging & branding those ppl for $15 an hour??

Maybe they can train employees to cough on demand, & herd them to the registers like sheep dogs.

I would strongly prefer simpler, less confrontational alternatives-not for the nonchalant shopper but for the protection of those folks working on the front lines w/ little to no protection~for their convenience & I do agree laying out time frames can help the shopper visualize a time frame & grasp the seriousness of the sitch..

Announcements over the intercom constantly to hurry the hell up, broken only by Italian Opera & old scratchy Hank William Sr songs...
