Probably different regions but none of my grocery stores do online like that. They have someone walk the aisles and shop like a regular shopper, and check-out at the cash register like a regular shopper. They will even give you their receipt to verify the order. You're just offloading the risk of infection to someone being paid to grab groceries.
- voodootrucker 7y agoThink of the systemic effects. If everyone ordered online, fewer shoppers would go to the stores, changing the topology of infection from a mesh to a star. Spokes would likely develop immunity, and would be less surface area to test, if we had any tests /s edit: not star, hub and spoke, sorry
- e12e 7y agoPartially I'm guessing this is an artifact of just-in-time delivery - almost no storage outside of shelves (there's no central storage location that could fulfill orders). Still, if the stores handle this themselves - it's much more feasible to take extra precautions - from using a locker room to change into a uniform (not bringing outdoor/home clothes into the store) - to using disposable gloves etc. Ideally, stores would offer only pickup and delivery - and not allow in-store shopping at all. Would probably make sense to increase staff as needed, as any additional staff needs would scale with increase in revenue.
