Central Long Island NY store open during health emergency as it is considered a essential business. No citizens of NY State are directed by the Governor to isolate themselves, Stay home, stay home from work unless a essential worker, practice social distancing and limit contact with others to stop the spread of the COVID virus.
Home Depot opens the first week of the emergency and limits customers in the store to 50. Customers are queued outside and allowed to enter when a previous customer leaves the store, keeping the number at 50.
Week two of the health emergence and the Home Depot changes the policy and increases the limit of customers allowed in the store to 150!
Employees of the store are overwhelmed, and in close contact with shoppers all day long. Register lines are 15 people long - one behind the other.
The store allows all to enter and shoppers (yes even window shoppers, families, and DIYers) are buying quarts of paint and foam brushes, potting soil, mulch, packages of screws, drywall mud etc. Certainly not limited to emergency repairs!
Employees are supplying there own disposable gloves, n95 masks, and drinking water helping groups of shoppers within close contact all day long as much of the work force has opted to call out and they are short handed.
How long will this dangerous situation be allowed to continue?
I would not believe it if I didn't see it myself while buying electrical parts for emergency repairs as I am a electrician.
Seems like home depot is complicit in spreading the virus with the chaos I saw in their store, instead of limiting the spread.
