In DIY stores, it is difficult to find it among the authorized items for sale.Certain rules sometimes make no sense.Reportage.
The rod yes, the curtain no.The authorized bulbs, the luminaire not.Funny observation when we go to cash at the Castorama store in Barentin (Seine-Maritime).""""This is the government's list unfortunately, but I agree that it does not make sense,"""" says an employee of the store.""""For the bathroom it's the same, you can buy the sink, the mirror, but not the furniture that goes with.Come on, a little patience, more than 10 days! ”, She launches us.
DIY yes but not the decor
In DIY stores, not always easy to distinguish what you can buy or not.Red and white ribbons mark the so -called """"non -essential"""" rays, in other words decoration, kitchen rays, bathrooms and lights.However, these remain perfectly accessible.
There are so many articles called 'non -essential' on our shelves that it would be impossible to withdraw them all to put them in stock, """"confides an advisor to us.
An employee at Castorama
If our lights were well within a ray a priori “non-sevential”, our curtains, they were nevertheless at the head of the department and perfectly accessible.No ribbon indicated that we could not leave with.
En caisse non, en click & collect oui
Surprisingly, we could have left with our curtains and our lights...If we had ordered on the internet. Voyant notre air contrarié, une responsable (qui semblait contrôler ce jour-là les passages en caisse) nous propose d'opter pour le click & collect.An absurdity that the manager herself has difficulty explaining to us.""""It is the law unfortunately.In case of control, we are bad, """"she tells us.
Confinement : faute de pouvoir accueillir leurs clients, des enseignes de bricolage proposent du click&collectIn the Bathrooms department, the inconsistency
In the Bathrooms department, it's the total blur.The sinks of sinks seem accessible, but not the furniture to place them on it.We ask a vendurde enlightening us.""""The basins that are exposed in front of condemned furniture, you can take them.Those on furniture, no.""""
The latter shows us the same rules with the mirrors. """"Mais si jamais un ensemble de meubles vous interesse, on peut vous les commander par téléphone ou drive.""""
Different rules following stores
At Leroy Merlin in Isneauville, same observation as at Castorama.Impossible to buy lights or bathroom furniture.The rules seem identical, with a detail... nous avons pu repartir avec nos rideaux ! """"Ici les rideaux sont autorisés à la vente, en revanche pas les coussins"""", nous explique un vendeur.It is to no longer include anything in it.
With more than 10.000 m² of surface, Leroy Merlin had been closed since Saturday March 27 following new announcements of health restrictions. Finalement, le magasin a pu rouvrir le 10 avril grâce à ces fameux rayons """"condamnés"""" (déco, certains produits de salle de bain et luminaires). En effet, seul les rayons dit """"essentiels"""" sont comptabilisés dans le calcul de surface du magasin.Reason why Leroy Merlin d'Isneauville was authorized to reopen.
Confinement- Les commerces ouverts en Seine-Maritime et dans l'EureIn supermarkets, even puzzles
Other inconsistency have been noted in supermarkets. """"On peut acheter un jeu vidéo pour une console type Switch ou Playstation, mais pas pour une tablette de jeux vidéos pour enfant considérée comme un jouet... Comment j'explique ça à mes enfants ?"""", s'indigne Amandine.
For her part, Caroline tried to brave the prohibition, the cashier saw only fire there. """"J'ai pris un puzzle pour ma grand-mère et une tête de Lego Star Wars pour mon fils, c'est passé comme une lettre à la poste"""", nous confie la jeune maman.
Toutes ces incohérences prendront fin le 19 mai, jour de réouverture des magasins et de tous les rayons dit """"non essentiels"""".Still a little patience...The countdown begins.
