Went to Home Depot yesterday. The wait to get in was about 10 minutes. Not a lot of people in the store. It was well stocked, even the garden area. I made the mistake of trying to wander towards the pro desk past the self checkout area and and an employee screamed at me "THERE IS A LINE!" I guess she thought I was trying to check out and the COVID stress had taken a toll on her. Maybe I had walked by a sign I didn't see forbidding transit through the front part of the store? When I explained to her I wasn't trying to check out she pointed towards the exit and said "THE EXIT IS OVER THERE!" I considered taking that as an invitation to leave without paying but I had more shopping to do.
ETA: During the wait to get in there was a man behind me 'entertaining' the line loudly saying things like "THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL! THEY ARE PROGRAMMING US! THEY'RE GOING TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES" etc.
