1. 50/50

Smart people to stupid people....although zippo social distancing. Is a sale, really worth your life?

[TheBlackAdder]

42. Yep. And by the looks of it, most would be highly likely to succumb to COVID-19 once caught.

[tblue37]

2. My immediate reaction is to grab for my mask and move ten feet away from my tablet! nt

[Celerity]

3. from the thread

[cayugafalls]

4. Blue Light Sale: COVID 50% off in Aisle 19...nt

[hadEnuf]

5. Idiots on parade?

Thanks to snake oil salesmen like Trump and his filthy deplorables COVID-19 is becoming a matter of opinion instead of a medical fact.

[paleotn]

6. Lining up to be virus food.

A veritable Covid-19 smorgasbord.

[The empressof all]

7. WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE

The one thing I have learned during this pandemic is that I must have lived in a bubble for 65 years because I never knew there were so many stupid, ignorant people in this country. Jeeze....what is so fricken important out there that you need to risk your life or the lives of those you are close to. I can understand the need to work but I'm sorry, leisure shopping, eating out or unsafe other activities is just beyond my understanding. I am an introvert so the need to physically socialize or be in close proximity to others is not something I miss. It's so frustrating seeing so many people engaging in such risky behaviors. And although wearing a mask is a kindness to others if you aren't socially distancing you are placing yourself at risk.

[Tink41]

14. I'm with you

My introversion prevented me from being exposed to the pure stupidity of people. I'm astounded sometimes.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. "BIG BIG BIG Clearance Event", "Major Markdowns Major Savings"

Apparently, these magic words are worth risking lives for.

Part of my brain must be missing because I don't feel the need to jump in amongst them. The magic words don't move me. I am a flawed consumer unit.

8. Looks like a lot of Covid19 cases in the making.

Multiply this by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of stores across the state, and it's a slow motion disaster that will manifest over the next 2-3 weeks.

[LiberalArkie]

10. I heard Soylent Green was on sale.

[patphil]

11. Best to let it age two weeks before selling.

[BigmanPigman]

9. My impression? Well...

It reaffirms my previously held opinion that Americans are dumber than dirt (that is why I knew Dear Leader would win in 2016). Not much has changed. Europeans can't figure it out but if they had Fux Ruse and RW radio circulating for decades they would understand how we got here.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. OMFG.

This is why you simply could NOT pay me enough to live in "The South" like, ever.

[quickesst]

31. would you live here?

13. my guess: it is the shopaholics

very disturbing indeed

[backtoblue]

19. I think it's a real disorder

My sisters are going nuts not shopping.

[Skittles]

21. like a lot of things, it is an addiction

yes indeed

[jpak]

15. The virus will soon have a clearance sale

Yup

[sinkingfeeling]

16. Oh boy, on Monday we'll see all the restaurants being swamped as well. I have

made a single trip to a store since the end of February. I made a 'senior only' trip to Target just this past Wednesday morning. First one in and first one out. More employees (masked) than shoppers.

[Submariner]

17. And they're allowed to vote......eeeek

[Corgigal]

18. TJ Maxx?

Really?

That is all.

[backtoblue]

20. What's wrong with TJ Max?

That and a JCPenneys is all that's within 50 miles of me.

[Squinch]

26. JCP is going Chapter 11, I think.

[Boomerproud]

22. TJ Maxx sucks.

The woman in the lower right hand corner probably got her mask ripped off.

[Talitha]

23. I see dead people....

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. Just got to have new duds for Mother's Day and....

some will do the same next year to honor family members at graveside......

----------------------------------------------------

I suppose this memo didn't make the trip by mule train....



KY............

[Demovictory9]

25. not enough mask wearers

[pstokely]

36. how many are wearing them without any mandate?

social shaming them is useless when do they don't care

[misanthrope]

27. "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."

None of this is new. Let Trump run all TV ads he wants. Of those who cheer them on, many won't be around to cast ballots in November.

[Xolodno]

28. Welp.

Darwin strikes again.

[Wellstone ruled]

29. That's Chicken Plant country.

You can not fix the Stupid.

[uponit7771]

30. Warriors for Trump!!!

[In It to Win It]

32. Spending their stimulus check

[muntrv]

33. Covidiot coven.

[gratuitous]

34. Memorial Day is going to take on a whole new dimension in Arkansas

This week will see the first spikes from the original "end the lockdown" demonstrations.

[pwb]

37. Fox news viewers?

.

[MineralMan]

38. Petri Dish.

That's my impression. I would not be there under any circumstances.

[not_the_one]

39. I have retired my teeny tiny violin that I play while offering my last fuck, 'cause my fuck jar is

EMPTY!!!

Unfortunately my empathy has dried up regarding certain groups of people. I have officially become a callous person.

When these people get sick, I will not care one whit. Too bad that they go home and infect others. May they dwell on their responsibility for it.

I WILL, however, reluctantly offer my tots and pears. No, I take that back, only tots. I feed my pears to my visiting deer. At least THEY are appreciative. After all, THEY allow ME to live in THEIR backyard.

[pstokely]

40. looks like a higher risk crowd

nt

[Brainfodder]

41. Attention shoppers, WTF are you doing?

Are there glorying holes in the dressing rooms too?

Wouldn't go to a crowded anywhere for less than $150,000, the cost of 2-3 C-19 recoveries.

I've got no health insurance, I won't see another human outside of my circle of 3 for at least 18 months if not 24/36 more, I figure, unless we have to be dragged to a hospital, which would be a fucking nightmare.

I'm in twisted circumstances, FML....

[Buckeye_Democrat]

43. This country is screwed.

From what I've observed at a local grocery store, while inside my car and awaiting pick-up orders, there will be an explosion of cases here too.
