I never missed a single day of work due to shutdowns, we remained open and at full capacity the entire time.
Shopping has become easier. Every place has super convenient online shopping and will either ship it, or do curbside pick up where they just drop everything off right in your trunk. If a store doesn't do that, then fuck em I'm shopping at some place that does. The grocery store is by far the most convenient. For the same price I'd pay by shopping myself I now get to do my shopping on my computer in a matter of minutes, not get exposed to a bunch of people in store, and not waste my time shopping or standing in line. Perhaps the best part of it is we can just do it online, then my wife and son can go pick up the groceries and put them away while I'm at work. Now instead of having to do a frantic shopping trip on the weekend, or lose 1.5 hours of my time on a weeknight, I instead do nothing but show up to a fridge full of groceries every week. Another feature of the online shopping I really love is the equal price substitutions. If I actually go into the store and the 16 ounce sour cream that is on sale is sold out, I have no options but to buy a brand not on sale, or a size that's not on sale and/or has a substantially higher unit price. But with the price matching they will just substitute another brand of the same size in for the same price, or just 2 of the 8 ounce containers but still charge me the price for the one that's on sale. With how frequently they are out of stuff this is a huge advantage vs actually shopping in the store. And they don't even charge anything for the service! It's the same price (actually cheaper since we get price matched substitutes) as shopping in person, except better in almost every respect. One thing I don't like is that I don't have the option to personally pick the produce we order, but they've actually been really awesome about getting us good quality stuff - they've picked it as well as I would have.
