Same as the hours a regional grocery chain kept open during the beginning of the first lockdown. They’re normally open 24 hours so I would shop at like 4:00am before work when no one was around. Then pandemic. They reduce the hours to ~8 hours per day, claiming it was for safety. Except all this does is bottleneck their traffic into more dense shopping cycles.
It wasn’t about safety. It was about cutting payroll overhead.
Closing the BIG businesses and forcing people to split up and shop in smaller groups at smaller businesses makes more sense in an actual Pandemic.
Forcing everyone into the same, now over crowded, locations because everything else is closed makes NO sense in a Pandemic situation.
The only two outcomes are wealth redistribution and spreading the virus more.
Sharing this thought.
That's an extremely good point
