    They’re not going to do that, instead it will be 3 slow ass cashiers at best and you’ll be waiting to have to stand there awkwardly while some dude tries to act like he’d rather not be dead instead of doing what he’s currently doing and you’re trying your best not to seem like as ass because you’ve been waiting for 10 minutes just to get to that point.

    You’ll get the worst of both worlds.

    (ps, just do curbside pickup. You don’t get to pick your produce or meats but it’s very easy and you spend so much less time grocery shopping)

      We started using yummy.com during lockdown and never really went back, although once in awhile I’ll do a big shop in our best local independent grocery store, for the interesting specialty items they carry, and more variety of fresh fish, meat and veg. We like the convenience of all being able to add to the cart from our various devices, then I put in the latest coupon, add a tip, and in less than an hour it’s at our apartment door.

      yup, supermarkets are not hiring specialized professional cashiers, they are worked by employees that have to spin many plates, that’s why it’s extremely rare for all the lines to be open at the same time.
