Best Buy Only Allowing 15 People in Stores at Once

While other retailers are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by shutting their stores entirely, Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) says it will take a different approach. The business is limiting total in-store customers to 10 to 15 individuals at once, encouraging people to use curbside pick-up, and has temporarily shortened store hours to 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time.

One option for customers is to buy items in advance on the Best Buy app or website and arrange to pick up their order at the curb. Another option is to enter the store as one of the 10 to 15 permitted customers. Those customers will be escorted by an employee, according to a recent company press release, who will maintain the CDC-recommended 6-foot distance from customers. Employees will also ensure that "clusters" of 10 or more people don't gather at one spot.
