Went to pick up some pre-orderd and prepaid items at 3:30pm, usually a quiet time at the large grocery store. People were lined up outside spaced 6 feet apart according to markings on the concrete. A security guard let people in as the same number came out. I was able to pick up my items at the customer service desk, in and out. There are so many staff wiping things down, maintaining spacing.... Grocery stores markup is not very high in %age margin, I have been told. With all these additional costs, the price of groceries has to go up. I pity anyone doing a weekly grocery run these days.
When I stopped in at the drug store for mailing some fabric masks to family, I also picked up some fresh milk. One young woman was having a complete meltdown being told that she could have only one bag of milk. Senior management was called in to deal with her. I felt for her frustration and the stress on the staff as well. Interesting times!
I decided I needed a treat so stopped and bought a burger to go with my tomato and pepper salad at home. Clementine for dessert and hot tea to drink. Perfect treat.
