Sure, so long as you don't need groceries in a major city.

Grocery curbside pickup and delivery are readily available in my non-major city.

  That's great if you've got a vehicle and/or can pay the extra cost for delivery. The urban groups statistically most likely to be unvaccinated (blacks and hispanics) are also those statistically least likely to have a vehicle or be able to pay for delivery.

    You don't need a vehicle for curbside pickup. Make "vroom vroom" noises while you wait, if it makes you feel better.

    This discussion would only be relevant if there was any downside or personal cost to the obvious solution, which is to just get the damn vaccine. Apart from facing one's cognitive dissonance, fears and ignorance, there is none. Just overwhelming benefits. It's perfectly okay for society to require it.

They also compel you to do things such as wear clothes and shoes in order to get service. If you want to take part in exchange, you must do it in terms acceptable to both parties. You are not entitled to take from society on whatever terms you dictate on your own.

how does the government response to you not being vaccinated interfere with you getting groceries?

I live in a major city and I have never even heard of requiring vaccinations to buy groceries. Is this a thing that exists somewhere? I would love to read more on this.

  I'm not aware of anywhere in the US requiring it for groceries. NYC is notable for requiring it for indoor dining, gyms, and a few others. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/03/nyregion/nyc-vaccine-mandate.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/03/nyregion/nyc-vaccine-mand...

I've gone to a variety of stores in a major city, and never been asked for my vaccination status.

Which major City are you referring to that demands vaccination for grocery shopping?
