[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live a stone’s throw from McLean Giant, for last 10-15 days I do my grocery run after 9:30, typically it’s empty and my exposure is reduced by a lot. I have feeling that now there are others who maybe doing the same and I may have to push my time even further.[/quote]

Do you mean AM or PM? If you mean AM as of now most people in the DC area are still going to work, so IDK if they'll be joining you at the store at 10 am. Though I guess that area has lots of stay home types. Now once employers start mandating telework (when? if?) yeah then you'll no longer get the store to yourself. Though if you mean AM, I'd say go earlier. If PM -- people here have bedtimes and aren't going out at 10 pm so if you go then, yeah it'll be empty.[/quote]

PP here. I should have specified, I meant 9:30 pm. My kids have bed times too but I am usually awake till 11:30, it’s calm and quiet.[/quote]

I'm with you. I'm in Arlington near the Clarendon/Ballston bros, so the timing of this area skews a bit later than McLean but I do find myself going out after 9 or 10 pm. You'll run into said bros but honestly not many of them esp if you go on a big going out night like Thursday-Sat + they're never buying what I'm buying + the store starts restocking in the evenings when the crowds thin. I do enjoy watching that young demographic stock up though -- last time I was there there was a guy who bought 4 six packs of peer + 15-20 ramen and that's it; clearly he's prepped for the next 2 weeks. But fine by me, it leaves all the frozen spinach in the world for me to buy.[/quote]
