Wholesale/Retail Supplier ReOpens

Post by audiophile » Sun May 10, 2020 6:44 am

I won't say the name of the business because the goons at Channel 4 will be over there in hot second and calling the AG.

This businesses was deemed "non-essential" by the governor, but let me say this business sells some products that can also be bought at big-box stores.
The line between essential and non-essential is very blurry in this case. The owner articulately explains he was in the Big-Box store and noticed most people were buying the same products that he sells, but because that other business also sells "essential" products they could remain open but he couldn't...

This owner also explains the governor's approach is also more dangerous. A smaller store would lower risk for those needing to buy those same products rather than raise it. The owner is willing to wear a mask, give a mask to customers, do curbside pickup, orders and product consultations via zoom, taking customers by appointment, and cleaning store between customers.

I would have to agree this place is safer.

It is unfortunate the governor has chosen not to work with the legislature, as I could see a reasonable reopening of economy by innovative and safety-conscience businesses owners.

And if 99% of business owners thought exactly like this I would agree... but there are many many fly by night folks that won’t give a rats ass about any of it.

Friends? Besides, that's in Washington state and I can't think of anyone I know there...

Anyway back to the topic...

I support businesses that take precautions.
