A peak into my personal shopping life.

AN INCIDENT AT THE GROCERY STORE
DURING THE PANDEMIC

“Yesterday was the first time in 10 weeks that I ventured inside a supermarket donned with my gloves and mask. I had finally decided to be brave (or stupid, but time will tell) and do my own food shopping at last. I’d been using deliveries from some of the biggest markets near where I live which has become my new normal. Actually I’ve discovered how convenient and easy it is. OK, these days I haven’t been doing my usual popping in to a store whevever to pick up some last minute fresh bread or desserts which I did all my life. Instead I plan my meals several days ahead and select my choices from an impressively detailed list of online options. The store’s online programs tell me instantly what’s unavailable with suggested substitutions. It’s easy to navigate and I find the sites very user friendly. It’s kind of fun! But the big stumbling block is the available delivery dates.

At the beginning of the virus the deliveries went out 2 weeks or more! I shopped around on line until I found a store that offered a scheduled time option from 6:30 A.M. - 10 A.M. which I grabbed. Guess most people didn’t want to start out that early to receive large deliveries dropped outside their front door before breakfast and then begin the chore of Lysoling each item while they were still in their PJ’s holding a mug of coffee. But I’m an early riser so it worked for me.

I’ve been judiciously selecting fresh fruits and vegetables with ‘covers’, like bananas, avocados, potatoes, and melons. I’ve even been too concerned with the risk of catching Covid that I don’t feel secure spray washing bunches of grapes in the colander. Call me paranoid, but I’ve discovered everyone has their own ways of how far they’ll go to protect themselves. And they’re quite articulate criticizing others who do less or more they they do; just an unpleasant observation.

After I filled my shopping cart with wonderful choices of foods I couldn’t find on the store’s online offerings I was elated, it was time to checkout. All of a sudden there was a lineup of people with their carts near me, with several checkers shouting. Apparently there was a kerfuffle in progress. I looked around and at first couldn’t find a reason for the problem. Then I heard a frantic call on the loud speaker for the manager to come immediately to “main door #2”. Everyone was hustling around and then I spied the issue: the store’s 7’ tall metal robot Arthur was blocking the automated door and was in the direct path of people trying to exit. He was an unmovable object who apparently wasn’t “allowed” to approach the exit door so closely, but there he was. The store’s manager and several of the checkers tried to lift and prod him but he couldn’t be budged. As they were all in an uproar and nobody knew how to deprogram him, the lineup of people with their shopping carts grew. They started to complain loudly they wanted to leave. “Somebody do something!!!” My lady checker was wringing her hands. Alice to the rescue: “Why doesn’t everyone just use the other door?”.

Applause from all, I was the hero. I nearly fell down laughing. It was a memorable day that happily interrupted so many boring weeks of food shopping quarantine.

And what’s been your grocery shopping experience during “hunkering down”? Please write and share your stories. Eventually this may all become a memory. Or something to deal with from now on. Grrrrr.”
