I hear ya, but I have not had any issue with being around 25 people in a grocery store since this thing started. Wear a mask and only touch your own stuff and you're good. You're right. It's not rocket science.

If you think only one person touched that orange you ate for breakfast, I have bad news for you.

I never come in direct contact with anyone. Even if I do my own shopping there is a good chance someone other than me already touched it and got germs on it.
I wonder how some of you can make it this far in life with the reasoning skills on display.
Going into a grocery store puts you at higher risk to contract the virus than not. And there is literally zero debate about it.
But you do you, chances are neither of us get it and if we do were all but guaranteed to live. The only difference is under my method I have a much lower chance to contract.

We still like it because it is better than shopping in the store.

Do you not wash your fruits and veggies? Sure, common sense says "don't do that", but if you're already washing things to sanitize for Covid purposes, does it really matter?

I rinse them off. I don't put soap on them. You put soap on them? Because you're not rinsing raw chicken juice off your fruits and veggies without soap.

Right now, yes, my wife is preggers and paranoid, so I have to wash a lot of fricking food.

My in laws have had worse frustrations. They drove to Elijay for a Kroger pickup that wasn't ready (no notification ahead of time). The order then got pushed to the next day. They drove back to town the next day and well over half of the order was incomplete with no notification. They were very pissed and like you let someone hear about it.
Considering there isn't a Kroger in Ellijay, they came out pretty well.

Presumably they're using Jasper and Ellijay interchangeably here. But funny nonetheless.

They live in talking rock.
They have to drive "to town". I had a 50/50 as to which town it was. Most of the time I went to town with them, it was East Ellijay. I presumed there was a Kroger to go along with the walmart/home depots in that area.
Thanks for the correction.

You have at least the kid doing your shopping, who is pulling everything he can find right off the front of the shelf where everyone who passes by has breathed or coughed or whatever on for however long the store has been open. And direct contact isn't your most likely trasmission route. Cross-contamination is.

When I do go in, I go when the store opens up and I pull my items from the back. All of them. No one has touched what I pull for at minimum hours, if not DAYS.

There is absolutely debate about it. If you go in, touch everything in sight, sniff people's butts, or whatever it is you're doing to have direct contact with people or their germs, then sure. By contrast, I go in when the customer load is minimal, the store has just opened from being closed for hours, and I touch nothing but what I'm buying and nothing on the front of the shelf. Literally the only contact I have with anything is the touchscreen to pay (and again, at this time of the day, it's still fresh right now and I sanitize my hands immediately after). Every Kroger pick-up I have done, the guy bringing it out has attempted to walk up and speak with me about the susbstitutions or out of stock items. I'll give Walmart credit on that because they simply don't do it. They ask you from six-feet away and then sign the order for you.

On this, I'll agree.

No. I don't stalk employees while they work.
The pickup has everything individually bagged. Meat and fruit aren't together. Hell... canned food isn't together when it is different product. I figured that system helped the bagger complete the order without screwing up (1 bag per like item(s)).

It feels like it.
Who needs more time with the family?
I'm sick of them anyway with the quarantine. I should be bumping and grinding with Sheila on aisle 3 by all of the phallic produce.

?? No worries. Talking Rock is a strange place geographically. I have a Talking Rock address, while also living within Jasper city limits.

This is the quality content I come to the rant for.

My in laws are talking rock just on the gilmer county side.
It feels like there isn't much rhyme or reason to the postal addresses there.

Honesty depends on the Kroger you use and how depleted their stock is. Ours has gotten probably 75% of our orders the past few months but they’re averaging 120 pickups a day and the shelves inside are depleted, particularly cleaning supplies and canned goods. I just plan ahead to do a pickup there and then venture elsewhere for anything else if needed. Trying to do at least 2-3 meals a week curbside with local places too
