One of the nice things around here is stores like Walmart that sell groceries (so they are considered essential) also sells everything else (such as office paper).

Out of curiosity, I just checked and amusingly, depending on your local store, you can get it through their grocery pick-up service too. Probably also delivery, but I don't live in an area where they do that.

I’ve heard that in Italy they are closing departments of stores that aren’t selling life sustaining items, even if other parts of the store are.

That's what they've done in Bavaria. They apparently missed some shelves at the discounter I was at yesterday, and the cashier reluctantly told me that he couldn't sell me that pack of contact lenses I'd picked up in the health and beauty aisle (contact lenses are usually available on the shelf in Germany). He thought I might be able to get them at a pharmacist.

keep in mind that a store is just a frontend for several supply chains. The workers making the product might stop, the transporters might as well, and even the workers that refill the shelves might stop refilling non essential goods.
