Thoughts on grocery express pickup vs. going and getting yourself?

I ordered groceries online from No Frills this week, first time, easy-peasy, had the best parking spot and had to walk in, spend no more than 3 minutes opening a couple of pantry and fridge doors and walking out, all pre-bagged.

I'm thinking, "cool, hassle-free, least amount of exposure..." then somebody says, "yeah, but that that grocery buyer has been there all day, every day, touching all your poop..."

So what do you think is worse for probability of exposure?

Just spray it all down with spray 9.

You’ll be fine.

But what will it do to my avocados?

We've been doing it for years.

Such a time saver.

95% of what you order is the same.

We used to do an order every Sunday, coordinating the pickup time so we can grab it on the way home from hockey.

The pickup process at Fortinos is different. They have your credit card info on file. You order, they give you a pickup window time and then bring things out and put everything into your car. No contact.

So I guess it’s a trade off. Everything you buy in store has been touched anyway. Buyer adds one more. Going in store exposes you to all the people in the store plus going through checkout. I think pickup is better.

I miss hockey

Man they are good, tried them for the first time a couple nights ago and dummied the large bag with too many beers. Used about $50 (prorated) of TP the next morning though. Ouch.





Anyone else drinking far too much?

Define "too much"?

I've recently been rather addicted to the Doritos Jalapeno & Cheddar. Good stuff.

Actually, here’s an article saying that people are the most dangerous things in the store.

Heading out to one of only 3 Starbuck's that has a drive through in Ottawa to get the Fiance her Blonde Vanilla Latte. Wish me luck Zeze.

There's only 3? Wow, it's like the apocalypse already happened there. Godspeed Frenchie. If you don't return, I'll avenge your deleted post.

Not sure on my facts about the number, but it feels right my bluestached friend. Finally going to finish Dead Space 2 afterwards

We will know the North American extent of this in about a month...then another month to deal with the fallout.

So 2 months before we know anything about anything moving forward IMO.

This is so (frank)ed up.

Things will never be the same.

If its just a couple of friends and not 51 he'll be ok.

51 year old guy passed away here in my town.
Hadn’t been out of the province and no one they hung around with had travelled. He picked Covid from an unknown source, from an unknown location. A little unsettling.

I think an image of a grocery store in Port Perry was deleted a couple days ago as well. Thought that was weird.

I’m a farm boy at heart and want to pick out my own produce. How good of a job do they pickers do?

There is no room in Hockeybuzz for correct usage of words such as this.

A horrible conviction entered my Leafy heart. I feel like - I know - if this never happened - if we could go back in time, find Covid19 Bat Patient Zero as a little baby bat , and smother that baby, or shoot it in the face - the Leafs were always going to win the Cup this year. The season will be cancelled, and we're all gonna die because of a (frank)ing bat. Leafiest thing EVER. Fire Dubas.

Watched Total Recall (the original) with my son last night.

He enjoyed it, a bit, but honestly the movie doesn't really hold up anymore.

definitely a more than normal amount of Leafiness.

On the other hand, that in itself is so Leafy.
