我们已经告诉过你了今天早上，关于太平洋西北热穹顶对该地区牡蛎床的影响。但是许多其他企业正在遭受苦难，特别是杂货店和食品卡车，这些杂货店完全没有配备100多个学位的温度。（为什么它们会呢？在一个普通的太平洋西北夏季，80度被认为不舒服。）
商业内幕已经编译了许多报告如何影响该地区的杂货店。鉴于许多冷藏区都有开放式搁置，而商店所有者在封锁过道的同时，店主被迫停止出售易腐烂的商品，例如，商店所有者被迫停止出售易腐烂的商品。其他人试图通过将塑料纸悬挂在所有东西上来保存其产品。
空调也是一个问题。许多单元无法应付热量。西雅图附近的至少两个弗雷德·迈耶（Fred Meyer）的位置正在使用屋顶洒水系统来冷却空调和冰柜单元。同时，许多商店都是从佳得乐（Gatorade）和其他电解质饮料中售出的，这些饮料有助于击败热量。
在波特兰，有一个众多而著名的食品购物车现场，购物车车主也在受苦。“我不知道食品推车将如何通过此操作来管理。”告诉美国有线电视新闻网。Many carts have had to shut down because it’s too hot to cook (temperature inside a cart can be 20 degrees hotter than outside) and because customers don’t want to wait in line in the heat, and those are the lucky ones: others have suffered damage to their refrigerators and to the carts themselves after components have melted in the heat. These losses account for thousands of dollars, which is a huge strain on businesses that are already operating on thin margins.
实体餐厅虽然有空调，但仍有类似的问题。Naomi Pomeroy, a chef in Portland and a member of the city’s Independent Restaurant Coalition, told CNN that after the COVID year that already caused major changes in the industry (a greater dependence on takeout, a demand for higher wages, a labor shortage), this heat wave may be more than some restaurant owners can handle. “The pandemic kind of laid bare a lot of the flaws in our business model,” she said. ““At the core of it, it’s really going to be about big versus small, and ... everything feels like it’s weighted toward big business.”
现在，随着气候变化，更多的热圆顶有可能（概率），这是另一件事要担心。
