Not the case here in central Oregon .. HD is allowing only 100 people into the store at a time. Disneyland type line with X’s marked every 10’ to wait in until a worker at the exit notifies the entrance guard to let 2 in as 2 leave.
Same at Costco & Trader Joe’s.

I need eight tiny screws to finish setting up my office (I have worked from a home office for decades, but recently moved). I found them at a local Home Depot about three miles from here, but thought -- "I'm not going in that place." So I ordered the eight screws, normally, $1.99, but had to pay $11.00 to get them delivered here. They'll be here Friday. (Two Friday's ago).

Finally, I got an email today that said my eight tiny screws will be here tomorrow. Hope like hell they're the right size.

The last store I was in was Home Depot. This was before anyone was officially saying "Don't go out."

I felt a strong compulsion to get home without touching anything and take a shower . I think Home Depot is off limits to me forever...

. he looked inside and it was packed! the lines to the cash registers ran almost back to the garden area. People in line were on top of each other.

The grocery stores here all have signs saying "stay two cart lengths from other people."

They have marked squares on the floor with tape to mark off the 6' distance..
