Tangential question, are we not arresting heroin dealers during this quarantine either? Or are we just worried about legal addicts? -- nm - Volnelk Apr 1, 14:33 4

  - They have to. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 14:45
- Every jurisdiction is different. Here liquor stores are owned by the state, so I'm sure its a question of revenue. -- nm - crash davis Apr 1, 14:35 1
  - that is a tangential answer to a tangential question :) apologies for being way off the mark -- nm - crash davis Apr 1, 14:40
It's easy enough to use safe protocols. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 14:32 14
- This seems fine to me, I just wonder if there are not other businesses that we are letting fail that could be easy enough to use safe protocols too - JackDawson Apr 1, 14:37 1
  - Agreed about arbitrariness. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 14:38
- right, in one this morning. They have 2 guys at the door asking questions and checking for symptoms; then a plexiglass barrier between checkout and - Beaker Apr 1, 14:35 10
  - You can also limit the number of people allowed inside at one time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 14:36 9
    - you can do that for any sort of establishment though -- nm - JackDawson Apr 1, 14:38 7
      - Disagree. You can't do it for personal services. Hairdressing, massage, nails, etc. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 14:39 6
        
        "any" is wrong, but restaurants where they only allow 1/10th of the capacity? movie theaters with screenings at 1/10th full (how they operate anyway?) - JackDawson Apr 1, 14:40 5
        
        Gun stores are bullshit (IMO). Liquor stores, close them and bad things happen. Looking ahead, I'm seeing years and years of - loosilu Apr 1, 14:43 4
        
        I would join those lawsuits. There's no rhyme or reason to it except maybe what limousine liberals consider essential in blue states and rednecks in - JackDawson Apr 1, 14:48 1

        Problem is the people who think they are have guns, and lawyers. -- nm - . Apr 1, 14:46 1
        
        Totally agreed. Piss off gun owners, especially gun owners who believe they are in apocalyptic times. Bad choice. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 14:47
    - Ours are doing curbside. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 1, 14:36
- Yep. I'm seeing most of the ones who advertise with us specifically talk around the safety measures being used. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 1, 14:33
