Not quite grocery shopping, but still food... There's a berry farm near me where I get all of my berries for the year in the summer. I freeze most of them for use throughout the year. Now it's strawberry season, and I went today to start stocking up. They used to have you pick whatever amount you wanted in a bucket, transfer it to a box, weigh it, and pay by weight. Now you tell them how many pounds you want to pick, they give you a box that corresponds to that weight, and you pay for that weight before you go pick your berries right into the box. Somehow that's supposed to decrease coronavirus transmission opportunities, they say. A box that's full to the top, but not over, is apparently the correct weight. (Never mind that strawberries can be different sizes, thereby fitting together more or less tightly, etc.) I weighed my "10 pound" box on my kitchen scale when I got home, and it was 8.7 pounds.
They're requesting that people wear a mask at the station where you pay for your berries, which I can understand, but it looks like ALL employees are required to wear a mask... including the dude standing alone in the middle of a field, at least 10-15 feet from anyone passing by. His job was to point people toward the area for picking. At the cash register, the woman behind the counter removed her mask to answer someone behind me who asked a question. The whole point of the mask... okay, don't get me started.
