Open Since 1994
stores are taking steps to change the way you shop. It's all an effort to cut down on the spread of the virus and maintain social distancing. I witness news reporter Alicia Reed is in Woodbury, New Jersey with more on the changes mandated by Governor Murphy. New Jersey stores have already started incorporating rules that go into effect tomorrow. Now that things are the way they are, it's even more important. Signs posted everywhere. Customers cannot enter this store without a face mask. Their reminders in store aisles telling customers to stay six feet apart and plexiglass to protect cashiers. Americans are really hard headed. So we need to have somebody be able to take control of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is doing just that. Essential stores now have to follow mandates. I think we have to do to keep each other safe inside any store. Occupancy should be 50% of the maxim As for workers, gloves are now mandatory. The West family tries to limit the amount of trips to the grocery store. Whatever it takes to slow it, slow it down and get rid of it. Whatever we have to do if it says, Go shop for a week and stay in. If that's what we have to do, that's what we have to do. These orders have already been in effect in some states, but a few customers we spoke to feel their neighbors are panic buying, leaving shelves empty. If you go into that shop right, there's nothing on the shelves. No soda, no chips, no water, no toilet paper, no cleaning supplies, nothing to help protect some of the most vulnerable New Jersey stores must now have special hours for them to come out and shop.
