HEB is changing the store hours effective immediately 8am - 8pm

This might be an popular opinion, especially for those grocery shopping lately but bunching up shoppers further is a making a very bad situation even worse. The very worst place to be right now is a crowded grocery store. I believe when they do a post mortem on this whole tragic situation at some future date they will look at places like Apple Stores and grocery stores as causative to the spread of the virus. Avoiding crowded places should be priority one. HEB should be increasing hours to help spread out shoppers and help decrease exposure. They appear to only thinking of themselves here, the shelf stockers can deal with the after hours shoppers as they always have. This really sucks, especially for those of us who know 'people density' help spread contagions and have always avoided those crowds while grocery shopping, choosing that magic time of 10:30p to 11:30p or 6:00a to 6:30a.
