Grocery stores have fuck all slots for delivery at the best of times, let alone in a pandemic and making the entire country use it rather than a small handful. I'm never able to get one for a time I'm in at least.

People can start by not bringing entire families into the store. Seen mom, dad, and kids in the store way too often since this started. But yeah, at least for my local stores, they aren't currently prepared to handle everyone going online

Not all stores can adapt to an online delivery marketplace nor can all customers afford extra delivery fees on top of likely more expensive grocery items shopping at beforementioned online delivery vendors.

Does CDC think we live in a utopia where everything is all the same in order

I recently started using Instacart so they can deliver my groceries to my car at Aldi. It's really nice for some stuff but I don't trust workers to pick out my vegetables and fruit.

This, but on top of that there are a bunch of idiots that just won't wear masks, even when there's a mandate. They should station cops at the doors & write out tickets to all these fucking nimrods instead of letting them inside.

easy for them to say

I mean like this is doctor's office 101 stuff here which sounds good in theory but has trouble working in the real world. "Does it hurt when you do that? well then don't do that". oh really? great advice. I just won't move anywhere at all, doc.

Yup. And we both live in big cities. How the fuck are people in smaller places without ten dozen supermarkets nearby meant to be able to do this?

People should definitely not come in as groups to supermarkets, but just not feasible to rely on delivery as is even for the big chains.

I tried ordering through Whole Foods, like 20% of the items I wanted kept getting yanked out of my shopping cart while I was trying to put it together and the steak I ordered turned out like $10 more expensive than advertised (it... was probably the best home cooked steak I've ever had but still), *and* I never saw an option to tip the driver so I felt like a dirtbag, *and* it's Whole Foods so it's like three times as expensive as everything else anyway.

Thought about trying InstaCart for Aldi but then that InstaCart scandal happened a few days ago so fuck that company for now.

So the only option really is to go to the store.

You cant make that kind of demand without the proper preparations. Sure. It would be great if we can do that. However, it is currently impossible to implement quickly and have it be effective. Stores dont have the staff to handle this. Staff is just one aspect. There are many other things to consider.

There is no plan in place for the entire country to buy groceries online and get them delivered without some people having to wait and starve. If I'm one of the more careful people when I'm out, isn't it better that I'm not one the ones making it harder for others to do it through online?

No they can't as you have to reserve times and all the times are always booked

I can't even imagine more even curbside than what we already have. there would be nothing but traffic jams.

You still have a major staff issue. Plus, lines of cars everywhere. It is still a pretty poor option without any real planning

Also weather. Are people meant to just wait in line for hours in the freezing minus degree weather?

Correct. The idea is so half baked. You have to see how things turn out. Just because it sounds good in face value doesnt mean it is actually a good idea.
