**** me, I hope so. I'm rocking the most ridiculous mop ever... I look like the illegitimate lovechild of Jim Halpert and Stephen Harper, circa 2006.

My only concern is that many people are going to go shopping just for the sake to get out rather then shopping only out of need.   I can see a tonne of the old seniors crowding the stores because they have nothing better to do which will then impact the people who actually need to purchase goods.  (Costco)

I resemble that remark.

"Crowding" in that situation should be minimal IF stores enforce the defined capacity limits. Hopefully it just means more waiting to get in.

I just would feel bad for someone who has to go to work 9 - 5 and then rushes home to feed their children and then only has minimal time to hit a Costco... only for the line to be 200 people deep because a bunch of bored people are just wandering around the store.   During the early parts of COVID I fondly remember going to Costco and seeing really old people walking around with a giant shopping cart and like only a package of bread just because they wanted to get out and look at all of the aisles. 

The reason I single out old people is because when I did work retail they would come in at all times simply to look around and to chat with the employees because they were lonely.

Sure, sure. As soon as I can stand up and find my walker, I'm going to come over there and........what were we talking about? Mother?

Anybody else upset that City employees have apparently had gym access? Total Bullshit imo.
