re: #366 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

Supply run completed. Time to hunker down for a few weeks.

Lots of people wearing quite a mix of masks/not quite masks. Not many people wearing gloves. Better selection of goods than last visit, but low amounts or out of some things still. I found everything on my list and have ingredients for chili and pasta sauce batches plus some fruit for the next week or so.

Grocery (Wegmans) had lots of markers showing 6’ separation, reminders to keep distance, and was also using a one-way entrance/exit strategy; e.g. you went in one of the two normal entrances and exited the other side. Also saw a “line starts here” sign which implied that they might also be limiting how many people can be in the store at once.

Saw some standard human obliviousness as well. Couple ahead of me got a cart, got 10’ into the store, and then stopped and had a minute long conversation about who was going to go get what. (In a narrow enough place I couldn’t pass them easily.) Got to the meat aisle to look for ground beef and had to wait 2-3 minutes while a woman picked up and *looked* at every single package of chicken breasts before taking none of them.

video posted here last week of the doc showing how to shop and then disinfect your food when you got it home

one of his suggestions: dont touch anything until you’re ready to put it in your cart/buy it. it’s a great idea that unfortunately wont help me if 20 people squeezed the avocados before i walked in
