I've been delaying pulling the trigger on my curbside order for Lowe's for weeks because it's the only one I'm gonna do for a couple of months and I don't want to forget something!

Meanwhile the chuds are packing in to the store daily

I dunno what it's like where you are but I've had to go to the hardware store twice since mid March and both times I just went when they opened at six AM and it was almost empty, and practically everyone who was there had a mask on.

I'd only go on a weekend or after work if my house was about to fall down but first thing in the morning before anybody shows up it was fine. Even was able to get some toilet paper and bleach wipes in addition to what I was there for.

It’s incredible to me how many people are baffled by the idea of shopping using pickup or delivery. If you need a wrench you should have a general idea of what kind of wrench and order or request it without having to go in a store and rub your face on every wrench first.

Like half of our society believes shopping is entertainment, they love wandering up and down aisles browsing to see new items they've never heard of, and love unorganized places like tj Maxx or thrift stores where they handle everything

We've gotten some dumb substitutions on our Walmart curbside pickups (sage isn't a substitute for oregano wtf) and some fresh fruit or vegetables we probably wouldn't have picked. I'd prefer for things to be back to normal but they aren't and won't be so I'll deal with these minor inconveniences.

Unfortunately there are a lot of dumb babies out there that can't, so BACK TO WORK

Yeah, same. I don't fault the random grocery store worker who is obviously just grabbing whatever produce is at the top of the pile, but I'd like to be back to normal so I can pick it out myself.

I do this job. If I wouldn't buy it I don't pick it, but I'm sure I'm in the minority especially when the fucks above us stress having a high pick rate.

Why wouldn't the players just say "gently caress you"?

Almost all of them have guaranteed money in their contracts, even the newer players, and it should be more than enough to survive through the pandemic comfortably, so why would they play?

I mean seriously, the players union should just laugh the owners out of the park.

Professional athletes are almost always at the center of a web of financial support for family and friends, that money goes fast when you aren't Mike Trout.

I understand that but the guaranteed money part means that the money comes at them whether they are playing or not.

So playing doesn't actually make them any more money. And they certainly won't be getting bonuses based on metrics with half an 82 game season, so again there is basically no reason for a professional athlete to play right now, at least not in baseball.

Just go grocery shopping yourself, dumbasses. Every time you use a store pick up app, you're just forcing some poor undermployed person to spend hours doing it for you, increasing their chances of getting sick, and increasing the profits of some venture capitalists

They're probably not getting their per diems or whatever but if my experiences with the mid 2000s braves teams are any indications that money was exclusively spent on booze.

I went to opening weekend in Cincinnati last year and accidentally ended up at the same hotel as the Pirates stayed because I wanted to be close to the park

The training and coaching staff pretty much took the hotel bar over every single day until closing time

or order directly from the grocery and pick up your order curbside, so as not to expose the employees and produce to your germs as you wander the aisles squeezing avocados

The nursing homes in Pennsylvania are possibly the most evil institution in this godforsaken country so I'm not surprised.

Under PA law they can force children to pay their dead parent's nursing home debts without their agreement or consent. And then they can throw you in prison if you don't pay the court costs. Cool state!

that dude shops for everyone and is only one set of lungs to get sick/spread virus

if everyone shops, that's like a way bigger web of contacts bc it's everyone to everyone and doesn't have the bottleneck of the one delivery or pickup guy.

if u use curbside pickup at the right places its not even a gig worker i dont think its just another task in the store

On the bright side the venture capitalists can't seem to figure out how to make any actual profit off of these lovely delivery apps. They're all just setting money on fire.

Still exploiting people, of course, and not even making money doing it.
