Hi All - I'm having a an internal struggle. Is it ethical for me to be shopping online for non essential items during this time? On one hand, I'm thinking I'm keeping the economy going by making purchases. My last purse purchase, I used my Saks SA's link to make a purchase so I'm pretty sure she got a commission for it as she thanked me for my purchase. On the other hand, am I risking the health of those working to fulfill these orders? That purchase certainly could've waited until this was all over.
It's not quite the same, but in the past it has bothered me that certain non essential retail stores stay open on holidays and I would feel badly that those workers aren't off to share the holidays with their loved ones.
I don't know if we have anyone here that works for a large or small business that deal with customers ordering non essential items online or for pickup and get their thoughts. Should I keep on ordering or put them in my Pinterest for now and get them when this is all done. Are these workers resentful that people are still ordering non essential items, or are they thankful to be working? I want to be sensitive to what's going on in the world.
I appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks!
