I wish our stores were like that here!
We are not a big city area, but there are plenty of cases around. Since the beginning people here have not taken this seriously at all. Other than the new clear shield in front of the
check out and a couple of stickers on the floor that were ignored, you'd never know anything was different.
There was a section in the parking lot to pull into for curbside pick up too, that't also new. Wasn't there a month ago and looks like it's never used.

If I didn't have to get some fence supplies while I was there you can bet I would have called in for the incubator to be brought out to me.
Oh, and no more chicks either. It's a smaller store and they haven't had chicks in a while.

We do the curbside when we go but honestly it’s just faster to go in the store and get it.

Oh and @SnapdragonQ how do you still have so much gas left!?

LOl... I haven't been going anywhere plus I have a hybrid.
Going from a truck that got 15 mpg on a good day to a car they runs on fumes (60 to 70 mpg) has been nice. Especially since I normally have to drive my kiddo to school daily.
It only holds 8 gallons but boy oh boy...do those gallons go a long way!!

Yeah a lot of stores here require it or certain towns do. I don’t think our TSC is one but my grocery store down the street is. My town and the town that grocery store is in both require masks now. Oddly, our TSC is weird about masks too. Every time I go in, almost nobody is wearing them except maybe a few people but yet other stores I go in, they usually almost all wear them. Not sure if it’s the crowd at TSC or what? They think they’re immune or too cool for them or something?

That said, our governor did just pass some thing a couple weeks ago about masks being required now so I wonder if people will follow it. I haven’t been to TSC since.

From what I can tell in my area, mask/no mask...or the seriousness to which people are heeding guidelines, seem to coincide with political thinking or affiliation. Probably not a stretch to imagine that could be the case in other places as well.
While this is not true in all areas/states or at all stores, farmers and/or conservative types are usually the folks you see at TSC and feed supply places.
Whole Foods or Traders Joes...not so much.

We don’t eat anything in the cases. My family has too many allergies and stuff to even try them. We don’t even do lunch meat. I don’t trust other people’s cleanliness because most just do the bare minimum

That makes sense!! I usually don’t buy anything from the cases except their muffins LOL I LOVE those muffins

Oh wow that’s amazing!!!! I think mine holds like 16 or 17 gallons but idk. I just had to refill yesterday though because it was down to like way less than a quarter tank and I didn’t think I’d make it home I burn a lot of gas with my driving habits plus I’ve been driving a lot this week. Not really going anywhere but driving a lot.

My truck holds 24 gallons. My little car 8.
Guess which one can go waaaay further than the other.

In the summer, if I'm on flat roads or highways, I can get about 90 mpg.

@KDOGG331 loved it especially the 'Day Care Van'. I'll have to check out our Target parking lot and see if this has gone national. After the pandemic is over of course - 2025?

Glass case doesn’t prevent germs, bacteria, or dust

No, it doesn't, but it should help cut down on the number of contaminated hands coming into contact with the food - at least that's the theory.
