Kwik e Marts are fine. It's the full service supermarkets that have to close. I think 4 employees is the limit they set.
It is something like that in Quebec. There are hours for larger grocery stores, not just holiday hours (ie. closed) but regular hours as well. After those hours there are some extended hours where they can work but have to limit to I believe it is 4 employees (evenings other than Th-Fri are extended hours). It sometimes leads to a backup at the cash, but the stores are not as crowded during those hours so it usually works out. I have also noticed that in the past year or two, many people are starting to use those cursed self checkouts. I have always refused to use them, and in grocery stores they usually only take cards and I prefer to use cash. Many years ago when Home Depot was on their kick to get you to use them I would let the cashier walk me through the process, but I have yet do it myself (so it wasn't really self checkout, just a cashier at one of the terminals).
Groceries are not a "nice to have"... but shut everything down, other than essential services, then.
Yes, but it becomes a question of what is essential.
If I am traveling, a gas station, restaurant, and hotel are essential. Do we exclude traveling on holidays - kind of defeats the purpose.
Entertainment is another one. On holidays, we like to go to the beach (lifeguards), baseball game, watch fireworks, etc.
