I can't figure out why the virus doens't live in walmart
but it does in a restaurant or a small book shop. No one
can explain it to me. I'm not a nutjob, but why?

Exactly. Why are left wondering why this distinction is imposed?
Is it just the "no crowds" excuse? I don't buy it; crowds are
very much a feature of big-box stores.

I hear Rob Ford say "we are following the advice of our medical
experts", but you never hear from these alleged experts directly.

I would imagine that there is a favouritism factor. Perhaps the
larger big-box companies remind the politicians that they are the
source of money for their political aspirations. By extension, I
would imagine that is why banks and credit card companies are
completely immune to imposed lockdowns.

I'd rather shop in a small store that at most has 2-3 other customers.

... Could you continue your petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

I'm surprised that the local Stedman's V&S department store is
"closed" to the general public except for curb-side.

It makes shopping there ridiculous as each request at the door
requires that the clerk run through the store to pick things.

I have close to the same square footage that they do - not
including their women's clothing department.

The local Dairy Queen is business as usual, and only because they
said that they don't have inside seating. The owner told me that
they are busy as ever. People desire no shortage of ice cream and
cakes, aparently. But is it an essential food? I doubt it.

Shocked they would even bother to be open for that.

They also have fast food so maybe that's what people are ordering?
I haven't eaten at a DQ in years but we don't eat out much anymore
other then pizza every couple weeks.

Same as the company I work at, we make "food" but by no means essential. But I'm thankful I still have a job. I'm lucky that I can work from home, but those that work on the line have no choice but to go in.
