Walmart and Target Ordered to Stop Selling Nonessential Items in Vermont
On Monday, big box retailers like Target, Walmart and Costco were asked to stop selling non-essential items in the state of Vermont. According to a report by WCVB, Gov. Phil Scott added an addendum to his executive order about the coronavirus, ordering stores to stop selling things besides food, beverages and pharmacy items. The state apparently fears that sales on other items might draw people out of their self-isolation prematurely.Like many states, Vermont is allowing retailers who sell essential products to remain open through the stay-at-home order during the coronavirus pandemic. However, it is taking a harder line against department stores, which sell groceries and medication, but also luxury goods like electronics or clothes. It is asking stores to either remove these items from the sales floor or close the aisles where they are sold, in order to dissuade customers from going out for them.
