(2,484 posts)announced the same thing yesterday.
They said that they are going on the honor system for now.
They're pretty expensive though, but Shoprite hasn't instituted the same policy.

(60,010 posts)My night time meds don't wear off till late morning.
Plus I've been a night owl all my life.
I go shopping before noon, tho, on Sundays here, 'cause almost everyone is in church, no crowds.
Or at least used to, could be they will close churches...
My neighbor is mid-80's, she's up with the birds at 6am and does all her shopping by the time I am getting out of bed. For her, a born and bred Southern woman, beat the heat is important.
