So, this is a situation that is infinitely worsened by Trump's administration refusing to put money in people's hands beyond the paltry 1200 some have already gotten (and largely spent on past due rent).

Pickup services charge premiums on everything. Markups on the items themselves, pickup fees, delivery fees, tips, etc. As they're rapidly hiring on new workers, lots of these people are making mistakes. I had an order from Target where the girl bought multiples of an item and added in about twenty extra dollars worth of substitutions (without calling like she was supposed to) to my bill.

For me, an unexpected twenty added on isn't a big deal. For some people, that along with the premiums makes pickup/delivery unaffordable. So, the government either needs to subsidize these operations to make them as cheap as shopping in stores or they need to make regular payments to everyone.

Also, as an aside, the one way lanes seem like a horrible idea. I had to deal with them at the grocery store recently and it just resulted in me being in the store longer/coming into contact with more people because I had to go down aisles I didn't need to be in.
