It's not making the front pages which is what matters I would think. Some people will need computer stuff too during a four week shutdown

Exactly, those same people will soon be complaining when their kids xbox controller breaks on the first day of lockdown.
The warehouse is also the lifeblood of many small towns throughout the country. A month is a long time to be totally deprived of things.
People on stuff comments complain about absolutely everything, the silent majority will be quite happy it is open.

Government intervention is the problem.
Wouldn't be surprised if WHS was in Winston's retirement fund. This "picking of winners" is now our future.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12319321 Apologies if this has been posted already. Plenty of debate about whether what WHS sells constitutes essential products. I don't go there often but on a casual observation I think my local store has about 15% of its area dedicated to essential products.
Not a given that they will be allowed to stay open especially Noel Leeming, Torpedo 7. Some caution may be warranted after this mornings big bounce.
Where do you draw the line ? For example if Haldenstein's stores start selling a range of drinks and snacks can they stay open ?

Noel Leemings and Torpedo 7 are not open, just the red sheds. Recently they have had far more cleaning products, wipes etc than the supermarkets, pallets of the stuff just inside the main doors

The kennel is already very well stocked but I do need a new laptop for Mrs B so we're headed down to Noel Leeming later today...with our masks and gloves.
