Many of us are  out of work and told to stay home  ,  

But there seem to be  so many stores  and shops around here that are still open , 

So what are the stupidest essential workers around your area ?

Today I drove past Isky cams , and they were open , I am sure they are essential !

Anyway Stay safe and help others thru this......

Had they not closed the liquor and gun stores first, I'd agree. Although it sounds like the gun stores got an exemption today.

The corner convenience store stayed open.  They don't really have groceries unless you count potato chips and diet coke.  They don't even sell gas. I asked how he stayed open and he said it was because he sells CBD and some people medically rely on it.

I'm all for the benefits of CBD, but it's also available at grocery stores, pharmacies, and medical offices.

I see some IG posts of construction still going on which boggles my mind. We are locked out of a 1.4b dollar project at least three weeks but the non union joints are still building a dollar store down the street

My girlfriend's mom just recently had several back to back surgeries. She's been sober for 25 years but refuses to use opiates so she's using edibles for pain management

If I think it's a stupid business now, I probably thought it was a stupid business before.

In our state, construction has been deemed "essential" so its all as normal all around us.

Yep. Construction was excluded from the state limits in GA. 
 

That doesn't mean all construction jobs stay open. Owners are shutting them down left and right. We had 4 jobs shut down this week.

In reply to Javelin :

We want people to stay inside right?

There's no better way to get people to want to stay in the watch TV, movies, stream, play video games or listen to music

Hell, a half ounce of a month should go out to everyone with their $1200.

Sorry, out of context. I didn't mean that it was stupid for the actual pot shops to be open. It's stupid for the random ass corner store that sells a single CBD oil to be open when the full-service shops are all open for business as usual.

In reply to Javelin :

It's one thing for the government to decide which services are essential. It would be a complete disaster if they tried saying which businesses providing those services could stay open, and which could not.

I picked up a side gig of delivering newspapers because it pays stupid well.

 

It's apparently essential .....I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad

Rich's Yamaha is open by me.  I guess folks need cheap transportation.  

Ditch Witch closed - my customer.   I would think they would be needed.

I know what's stupid: Not taking this time of majorly reduced traffic to do a bunch of much needed road repairs.

Construction in general is hard to do with everybody 6 feet away

Or if the papers start piling up because someone can't go get them.

 

I'll leave it to your imagination as to why
