[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too. All the people who stay home constantly are doing is shifting the risk to someone else, whether it’s someone delivering their groceries or whatever they’re deciding not to go to the store for.

Not my definition of a hero. [/quote]

I get shifting the risk to instacart shoppers, but not going to the store as much as they used to...how is that shifting the risk to someone else? [b]If lots of us are doing this then that’s less people it the store and less risk to everyone—the workers and the patrons[/b]. [/quote]

A safe arrangement would have been to close grocery stores to customers and have customers place orders online or by phone (not everyone, especially some older customers, is going to do this all online). Then they get a pickup time and a numbered space in the parking lot. They pull into the space at the assigned time, pop the trunk or door, and someone brings out the groceries. Only store staff and people like Instacart shoppers enter the store at all. This would provide temporary jobs (as stores hire people as shoppers, packers, parking lot workers to take things to cars) and it would mean far less exposure for [u]both[/u] store staffs/Instacart workers and customers. Home delivery could still happen as well.

It would have been great if even one big chain had done this very early. Others might have followed suit. It would be a model that created jobs and reduced exposure at the same time.

A friend in another state shops just like this. Her local grocery went to this model and it's been popular. It's too bad that the bigger chains didn't try it. [/quote]
