[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the original "Targeted" poster.

Everyone has a covid risk budget. I'd rather spend mine on outdoor time for kids with other families that are being really careful. Going indoors with hundreds or random people for an hour+ just seems more risky.

And I feel the poster who doesn't do playdates b/c they don't know what everyone else is doing. I get it! It's awful trying to figure out who is doing what. And we've definitely strained some relationships b/c the other family is doing more risky stuff and we decline invitations. But a lot of people love to put that they are doing large indoor gatherings unmasked and flights for vacation on social media, so that makes it easier too.

We do Harris Teeter curbside. They already had employees staffed for this pre-pandemic, though I assume they have added more staff. I've found it incredibly efficient. I order online the night before. If it's online, it's almost always in-stock. If not, they are good about substitutions. They call to confirm the substitutions. The order is always done early and I can pick it up whenever. And not always, but I usually try to tip the employee who brings it to the car $10 or $20 in cash. And it saves me a lot of time, so I can help out with the kids schooling and get more work done.

I can't speak to insta-cart or other shopping alternatives, but they have as much right to be in the grocery store as the "neighbors". They don't bother me because I'm not there.

Getting food to people is essential and I just try to reduce the total number of people gathered indoors as much as possible.

Thanks for this post.
1. Risk Budget - I like that term.  I have a low risk budget.  
2. Harris Teeter doing curb side - going to start doing that.  Even in non pandemic times it will save me time AND stop impulse purchases.[/quote]
