I went grocery shopping this weekend.
I expected my grocery shopping to be part of a productive Sunday.
Im naturally anxious, but woofit was a rough afternoon.
Wait times can vary, but its best to expect youll have to wait.
Think you’ve got the option to squeeze in your grocery run before your next Zoom call?
Wait until after that meeting.
Pay attention to cart sanitation processes
Some stores are having staff sanitize carts between shoppers.
Some are still allowing you to wipe down your own.
And some stores are out of sanitizing wipes altogether.
Do your best to be patient and avoid getting close to anyone.
But also be forgiving if someone invades your personal spacescolding is only going to raise tensions further.
They probably got distracted by their own grocery list and forgot that things arent normal anymore.
Simply step aside gracefully, if you might.
I anticipated those items to be out of stock.
But every single key in of pasta?Mustard?
Go into your grocery trip expecting many shelf areas to be empty.
You might argue that this isnt a time to be picky.
preparing some alternatives before you venture out to the store can help you reduce your shopping time.
It can also help set expectations for the folks who stayed home.
If you typically bag your own groceries, this is less likely to impact you.
