1. Those clothes were to DIE for!

[iemitsu]

2. I'm dying for a new costume.

[LisaL]

3. Drop dead, that is.

[SoonerPride]

4. We are doomed

You can only save yourself.

From this point onward no place is safe.

Save yourself.

5. Cue up the Oingo Boingo....

"It's a dead man's party... who could as for more..."

[TreadSoftly]

6. woman in orange sweater is wearing mask and has covered hands...

...with prospective purchases. Does she get credit for two out of three (not keeping her distance)?

Otherwise - gosh people there like to live dangerously. Hope they like hospital food.

[LisaL]

9. Homemade masks will only work if vast majority in the crowd is wearing them.

Since nobody else seems to be wearing it, she is not protected either.

7. Did they find...

Did they find any specials on designer funeral shrouds?

Sheesh! We can't even get over the first wave yet, which will spike and maybe even bring a much bigger second wave after that. Or are these people in crowds and gatherings just going to keep it going as one long wave?

[lunatica]

21. When we get the second wave a few will begin to take it

seriously. By the third wave the ones who didn’t take it seriously will be dead.

8. I guess the economy doesn't suck in Arkansas.

Does that mean they don't need Fed loans or PPP? Are they going to send their $1,200 back since they obviously don't need it for important things like food, rent , utilities, health care, etc.

10. It's going to hit these guys like a ton of bricks.

[Rorey]

11. I didn't go into crowds like that before the pandemic hit us

I think I was kinda into social distancing before it was a thing.

I like stores like TJ Maxx, but won't be going to any for a long, long time. They absolutely aren't essential.

[LisaL]

13. I like TJ Maxx too.

In fact I went in one right before shut down. But it was far less crowded than in this photo.

[PatSeg]

14. Same here

I hate crowds and hate shopping. For some people I guess it like a hobby or sport. To me it is a tedious, boring necessity and I certainly wouldn't do it during a pandemic.

[Rorey]

17. I like browsing, and buying unique things for myself

When I got a divorce last year I got rid of just about everything. I've had great enjoyment in getting new things just for me, a little at a time, but I will never fight crowds to appease my shopping habit.

[PatSeg]

18. When I was younger

I enjoyed browsing now and then, but I never could handle crowds. Now I enjoy the convenience and flexibility of shopping online. I can take my time and compare items. Some things I have to buy in person, but not too many.

I have to add that I worked in retail for a long time, so that really killed any appeal for shopping, especially at Christmas.

20. I feel the same way. I have no desire to go into stores

Plus - I live way out in the country so I have a long drive to stores. I’m a master of online shopping.

[PatSeg]

34. Oh yes

for the most part, I love online shopping. I can compare different items and read customer comments. When I realize I need something, I can go online and add it to my cart. Then later I can go in and make any adjustments or remove items before ordering. I find I am less likely to buy impulse items that I may regret later.

I just never got into the consumerism that so many of my friends and family seemed to love. To me, shopping was a necessary chore, not some extracurricular activity like tennis or gardening.

Good to see you!

25. I like buying jewelry...stuff I don't have to try on

[smirkymonkey]

29. I feel the same way. I occasionally will do it around the holidays for some last minute purchases,

but other than that, I pretty much stay out of the stores unless there is something I really need that I can't find online. Like something I have to try on from a store I'm not used to buying from. I really hate shopping.

[PatSeg]

36. I find that less shopping

opens up time to do other things that are more enjoyable. For a lot of people shopping is an addiction and they end up with bags of stuff that they don't really want or use.

[LeftInTX]

24. I just don't like crowded stores!

Shuffling through packed racks of clothes
Fighting for a dressing room
Standing in long lines
(It makes my back hurt, just thinking about it)

No thanks!!!
If I saw a store that crowded, I'd be like, "I'm coming back another time"

[Arkansas Granny]

12. SMH. I don't understand the mindset of people like that.

I think one of the reasons we're seeing this in Arkansas is that we really haven't had many cases in much of the state and fewer than 100 deaths statewide. Many people don't take it seriously because it has not directly affected them yet.

[Devilsun]

15. Auditions for the Darwin Awards 🙄

[stillcool]

16. I can't remember ever being in a store..

that crowded...maybe Filene's basement a few decades ago. This can't be real.

[jls4561]

19. Who the hell runs out of clothes in two months?

[tavernier]

23. Everybody who's been eating 10,000 cal a day.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

31. How did you know?

On the other hand, I've been giving serious thought to perhaps starting to exercise somehow.

[3Hotdogs]

22. --- as the post office says,

Each to his zone.

27. They look like they are still.pissed.

[Hekate]

28. I see one and only one mask

[Tipperary]

30. I hate crowds even without a pandemic.

No thanks.

[sinkingfeeling]

32. I think that's in Jonesboro. Read up on some of that area's past.

[durablend]

33. Clearly they're pwning teh libs

Sacrificing themselves to open the economy!

[Wounded Bear]

35. No fucking way...

Not going within 50 feet of that store.

No way. No how.
