Re: Social Distancing ?
We had the house full of workers today, so we drove through Burger King and pulled to the side in the shade and ate.
That Burger King is doing a lot more business now than a couple of weeks ago when the dining room was open.

You are in good shape if you are going to sell it.

Re: Social Distancing ?
I just finished my first full week of working for Lowes. I spent forty years in the copier/printer business. Working retail is a whole different animal.
They built "sneeze guards" for all the registers. The floors are well marked for keeping your distance from others in lines. Lots of signs in the entrance area to remind everyone to keep your distance. So far its been a pretty good experience. One guy tried to buy more than the allotted amount of toilet paper. The display is very well marked ... One per. Guy really put up a snit going on about how unfare it is ... blah blah. Eventually he just handed his extra package to his buddy so he could pay for it. We are very short staffed though. Lowes highers a lot of older folks and they told them they could stay home with some sort of extended pay so a lot of them took advantage of that. I don't know much about daily sales but I do know they are substantially higher than what their projections were. We have a mid morning ra ra get together and they let us know about the goings on of the store. The parking lot really fills up with shoppers mid morning and just keeps busy till closing.

Re: Social Distancing ?
Kingsolver, I just noticed your signature. So true.
I've always told my family and employees, "Don't let greed drive you, don't sell your soul for a buck."

Re: Social Distancing ?
Thanks. I hope so
Just have to have things settle down enough to get down there and empty it out. Colorado is not the place to be going right now.

Re: Social Distancing ?
Has Colorado passed a no joint sharing order yet?

Re: Social Distancing ?
That reminds me. 2 weeks ago I went to a wedding then the reception. The reception was at the brides mother and stepdads place out in the country. A real nice place. Beautiful day outside. I’m talking with some folks around my age and all the sudden I smell a skunk. So I scan my surroundings and low and behold a circle of about 8 or 9 millenials sparked up a joint behind me. Now I really didn’t fit in with anyone there to start with, that’s when the “awkward turtle” showed up.
Pretty sure there were only a few of us that had the social distancing down. That was before everything went south with our current “national emergency”. I’m not judging but when that stuff isn’t on your radar anymore it feels weird watching people get high. I left before the keg was tapped.

Re: Social Distancing ?
This stay at home time will result in two things. A lot of divorces and a baby boom in about 9 months!
I am anti-social so this separation is not a big deal for me. My wife and I are getting a lot of work done around the house, reading and watching fluff on TV. The news is too depressing.

Re: Social Distancing ?
Limited to ten people sharing one joint
Really though I can't imagine how there is any more weed now since it was everywhere in the 1970s and 1980s. We hardly knew anyone our own age that wasn't smoking pot, which I guess is why almost all our friends were 20-30 years older than us. We are that age now and I reckon pretty much all our friends from those days are passed on.

I wish they would hand out free condoms to hoarders
