The lead in to a holiday weekend stores would be jammed.
Yesterday only a few people at the grocery store or other retail stores.
So they are not at restaurants, grocery stores, retail stores.

Where are they?

Maybe they all order their food and have it delivered.
Same with restaurant food.
And they get everything they want from online?
