Only two customers at a time at a Vitamin World in San Antonio. No shoe-sizing services at a Skechers in Gulfport, Miss. Mandatory hand sanitizer, spritzed on by a mask-wearing doorman, at a Louis Vuitton in Houston.

Grocery shopping during COVID-19 | News | morganton.com
Today, grocery trips require a new set of rules and regulations that I’ve been trying to get into the habit of doing, beginning with an exasperated “yes” to my husband’s question, “Did you remember to wash your hands,” as I step onto the porch with car keys in hand. We’ve all heard this particular tip 1,000 times to wash our hands thoroughly with hot water and soap for 20 seconds, especially if you’re going to the market.
Because grocery stores are at their cleanest and most stocked at the start of the day, many stores have started opening senior-only hours of shopping in the first hour that they're open. That's 7 a.m. It's a swell gesture except it doesn't really entice me to get up an hour early, fully dressed and masked, to search once again for toilet paper. Not yet, anyway, because we're lucky enough to still have a couple of rolls. Time will tell.

Best Buy tests online shopping alternative: appointment shopping
The days of walking into a Best Buy on a whim are over — at least for now. As the retailer prepares to reopen some of its locations, shoppers will be asked to make an appointment to ensure each store doesn't become too crowded.
"Customers will be able to schedule appointments with Blue Shirts or Agents for their tech essential needs. Since each customer's appointment will have a dedicated sales associate, there will be a limited number of customers in the store at any one time to ensure appropriate social distancing takes place," Best Buy said in a blog post .
