Next and River Island stopping online orders from tonight
Think that they will be the first of many.

Yes I heard about Next. Didn't know about RI.
Glad they are listening to their staff.

Good! Only essential businesses should be open, warehouses are a hive of activity, it’s pretty much impossible to social distance, not worth the risk so people can get a new frock.

The cynic in me says this is actually because consumer confidence is so low that people aren’t shopping for clothes right now and it’s cheaper for such companies to get the government to pay to furlough their staff than to continue to run an unprofitable warehouse operation
