Pandemic Milk

This is a photo of a bottle of milk we got from Wegman's this week. It's one of the ways we have been getting food during this pandemic. Becky goes online and creates a shopping cart of food we need and then places the order. We then go to Wegman's and pull up to the special door after receiving a text message that the food order is ready for pickup. You text the store that you are out there at the pull up spot and then someone comes out and puts the bags of food in your car.

This particular bottle of milk has the label on it designating it for Becky Emery because it was not in a bag and was standing alone. You can see on the label that it was one of 11 items or bags. It has been a very efficient way of shopping that enables one to not enter the store itself.

Over the past 8 months of the pandemic we have also used the food delivery service from Prime Whole Foods which brings your order right to your door. The delivery person will text you when the delivery is taking place and you do not need to be there. They will leave the food on your porch. That is unless there is booze in the order. Then you must be there with ID.

Becky has also been using Dash's and the Lexington Coop which are both located right down Hertel Avenue from her studio. She is able to drive by and check out how busy they are by the number of cars in the parking lot. Most of the time she stops by there just after the lunch hour and is able to go in there and get some essentials on a regular basis.

The Coop is always fine but sometimes in Dash's she runs into people not wearing masks properly. They are usually older men with their mask down under their nose or dangling on their chin. Really dumb. Overall however we've been in good shape with groceries.

Now winter is coming and things are getting bad again.
