Some malls/stores are opening for retail-to-go Friday. Here's how it will work.

Sorry about the local article(s), but I assume this is how it will work throughout the state:

Under state guidelines, customers can’t go inside stores and employees must be screened for COVID-19, wear face coverings and stay at least 6 feet apart. Payments should be made online or over the phone.

When customers drive up for an order, employees should put their items in the backseat or trunk to minimize contact, and wash or sanitize their hands and any items a customer touched afterward.

As for delivery, items should be dropped off on a customer’s doorstep by an employee or third-party carrier, who should not go inside the patron’s house or business, the guidelines state.

Two San Antonio malls are preparing to offer to-go services Friday after shuttering amid the coronavirus pandemic.

North Star Mall and The Shops at La Cantera will be open for curbside service, according to Rachel Wille, a representative for Brookfield Properties.

The company will post a list of participating retailers on each mall's website before the properties open at 11 a.m.

After coronavirus shut down malls, five in the Houston area are preparing to offer to-go services from select retailers in each mall starting April 24.

Brookfield Properties is opening its five malls in the Houston area, which includes Baybrook Mall, Deerbrook Mall, First Colony Mall, Willowbrook Mall and The Woodlands.

The company is still finalizing which retailers will participate in the to-go program, but will release more information on each mall's site as it becomes available, according to Rachel Wille, a representative for Brookfield Properties.

As an aside, I purchased curbside from Kohl's a few weeks ago. The store was closed. Also at that time, Sally's Beauty was also closed, but some locations offered curbside.
