...the very beginning or the OP leading to the context of it all...
this is specifically a story regarding supermarkets in Wales but it’ll apply more widely I’m sure and I didn’t want it to get lost in the main COVID thread...I mean, I totally get the ‘theory’ of this, to try to ‘level’ it a bit for retail businesses which can’t stay open...but it’s the lack of clarity of essential and non essential and how it’s indeed very far from ‘being made clear’...certain items of clothing as a for instance...(...if a child needed a specific item for school or an elderly person needed a clothing item etc...)...would be more of an essential than confectionary/unhealthy or luxury food items etc...?...but those things will continue to be sold as essentials, while other more essential for some, won’t be...is that correct...?... ...I really don’t know what else to say so I’ll just leave it there because this is just silly, completely... |

These are the NI rules
The new country-wide measures are as follows: Support bubbles will be limited to a maximum of 10 people from two households, and overnight stays in private homes are banned unless in a support bubble. The hospitality sector will see industry-wide closures, apart from deliveries and takeaways. The country-wide 11pm curfew remains intact. Additionally, off licenses and supermarkets will not be allowed to sell alcohol after 8pm. Close contact services such as hairdressers and beauticians are not permitted to open. No indoor sport of any kind other than at elite level will be allowed. Gyms may remain open but for individual training only, so you will not be allowed to partake in gym classes. Funerals will be limited to 25 people, and no wakes are permitted. Places of worship will remain open with a mandatory requirement to wear face coverings when entering and exiting. Wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships will be limited to 25 people, and receptions are banned from Monday, October 19. The half term holiday break for schools and colleges will be extended to a two-week break to run from October 19 to October 30.

I mean you can buy clothes online anyway so I think it would be unfair to tell those supermarkets they can't sell clothes, people aren't allowed try stuff on (here anyway)

Trying on anything in shops hasn't been allowed at all since reopening, changing rooms have been blocked off, and if you return the item is not put back out for 48 hours I think (allegedly)

...it’s still nice for people to actually be able to feel the quality of things like children’s clothes when they’re at the supermarket...rather than a more unknown of that on eBay and the likes...

Your thread and title is perfectly appropriate and sensible. As is even more your opening post. Don't let nitpicking get to you. Sometimes it's best to to just step back. You don't need or likely want my advice but I'll give it anyway. |

Just pushing more and more retail traffic to Amazon and other online retail tbh. Not that I can say much, I'm a prime member and use Amazon all the time
Also... "essential only" ... "off-licences" |
