My trip to the grocery store
So I went to my grocery store today, first time in two weeks. There was nobody limiting entry. Or wiping down the carts, but there was a sign respectfully requesting that everyone be masked. And nearly everybody that I saw, staff and customers, was, except for a couple, who also left their cart blocking an aisle. As I squeezed past them, the words "rude, unmasked idiots" were heard.. Hmmmm, wonder who said that?? Said hi to all the employees I know.
For the most part, people were maintaining appropriate social distancing, no fussing or impatient types. Seemed to be about the usual number of customers for a Tuesday afternoon. The shelves that I checked were reasonably stocked, pastas, soups (plenty of ramen!), meats, cheese, dairy, bread, coffe and tea, pet food. Even toilet paper! Picked up what I wanted, didn't even have to wait in line. All in all, a fairly typical shopping trip (apart from the minor hypoxia. I do have to remind myself to breathe when I am masked!)
Of course, I happen to be in a bluer part of a fairly red area. Have no idea what is going on in fundieville.
Be safe and well, all.

All employees were masked, and only about 4 customers were not. We were all keeping a reasonable distance from each other, and no one was stressing. Very well stocked, really. This is Ventura, CA.
It's funny/sad, but 3 separate people I interacted with today brought up that stupid water park in the Ozarks, and every one of them knew exactly what the outcome is going to be, and were shocked and saddened. 
For a while it was very tough to get a slot, you would have to plan 3 weeks in advance and even then you couldn't count on getting everything you ordered. I would sometimes wait until 2am to see if I could get an open slot and it was almost impossible for a long time.
I have finally placed an order through Instacart since I can shop at less expensive markets, like Market Basket. Previously I was only going through Whole Foods, Roche Brothers and Peapod, but it was ridiculous how little I would get for the money I was spending.
For a while I couldn't get a slot w/ Instacart, but they have opened up and now I got an order w/ Market Basket which is so much cheaper than the other places I have been shopping. They also have much better stock. I'm in Boston and we still have a very high caseload here, so I am wary about going out until things get a little better.
Fortunately, people here are taking this very seriously and are wearing masks and social distancing (I get the scoop from other friends who have gone out to stores), but I just feel more comfortable not exposing myself to crowds of people yet.
Glad you are staying safe and in are in a good area. Where are you, anyway? Just curious. I always like to know where people are from. Anyway, take care and stay safe!
