I've been in Texas for the last 3-4 weeks now. I've yet to see anyone get hassled for being out and about. Maybe Texas mindset. While in Texas, I've got a list of chores to do as we have the house on the market to sell. Landscaping, sprinkler repair, painting, general clean up work. I'd rather not be shopping at some of the stores right now, but need to maximize my time here.
I went to the closest Lowes yesterday, it was packed with people. General observations, Lowes is trying to protect their employees. Plex-glass at the checkout stations and even at the paint both. There are signs on the floor instructing people where to stand at the checkout lines.
Needed some groceries so made a trip to Walmart. They have barricades and walking lines setup and have 3-4 employees at the entrance. Weird.
Made a trip to Sprouts grocery story to get a few additional items I couldn't get a Walmart. At Sprouts, they have 2 entrances to the store, one was turned into an exit only, the other is an entrance only. They also had signs on the floor identifying where to stand. One thing that stuck out to me as I was waiting in line, one of the cashiers asked for additional help at the front. Ironically the lanes they opened up were right next to the other lane. I thought, why go through all this trouble of having different entrance / exit doors, signs on the floor, only to open up the lanes next to each other. Sometimes I'm puzzled by the simplest things are overlooked.
If you've never been to Sprouts before, here is an example of how they have the lanes setup - photo from the web, not mine.
