[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who takes an hour to grocery shop? I can walk from my house to the store, shop, checkout, and walk back home in under 20 minutes (and do it weekly). There’s no reason you can’t get in and out quickly if you’re prepared with a list and go when it’s not busy.[/quote]

If you can buy $300+ of groceries and go to and from the store in 20 minutes, you need to be on Guy's grocery games!  But all kidding aside, if going to the store is how you want to spend your COVID risk budget, you do you. It's fine.

With the new strains being ultra contagious, going inside places with other people becomes more risky. And I wouldn't focus on the other shoppers in the store (not crowded), but the store employees -- they are around everyone!  There's a reason grocery store employees are near the top of the list for vaccination.

If you don't go in the store at all you are reducing risk for the employees and everyone else.

Hah! I actually would be amazing on Guy’s grocery games. Good idea, PP. :)

Like the other PP, I love nothing more than to wander the aisles of Wegmans or WF, but an unexpected consequence of the pandemic is that it has made me super efficient at shopping. I think that my heightened awareness of my surroundings also makes me pay more attention to the aisles and items and that makes it go faster too. Gone are the days when I can look at my phone to check a recipe.

I try to get in and get out quickly. If you haven’t been into a store since March, I can see how it would seem like the employees would be risky but with the plexiglass partitions and way fewer people in the stores, it’s much easier to keep a very safe distance. Not trying to convince you to change since pickup seems to be working for you, but if you do have to go in, it’s not so bad as long as you choose a slow time.

Great point, we all spend our risk budgets on different things. [/quote]
