> Why is grocery delivery considered a ‘safer’ option than going to the store yourself. If we both go to the store, you can infect me and the people working in the store. If the store delivers to you, it is easier to make sure you (the customer) do not infect anyone (they can leave the goods outside, no need for close interaction). As others mentioned, a lot of people will interact with the goods before you - but it is much more feasible for a store to train and equip a handful of people to take precautions, than to expect the public at large to do so - just a simple thing like not being able to change in a proper wardrobe before entering the store, means customers are a lot more "dangerous" than staff.
