Does that still exist? Wasn't it like a Radio Shack sort of? Glad they are renowned food critics now and gave their approval

Maybe 20-30 years ago. Nothing but overpriced crap so no wonder they'd go with a POC like Trump.

For contact less deliveries everywhere. My local store also has been slowed down dramatically from this too.

They may be a little green around the edges 'cause they've been in storage for a couple of decades, but still, trim the edges, bang the shit out of 'em because they are a bit stiff.

Put 'em on the grill and you got a home run.

Where is that?

Locally I'm looking at 2 days.
I've got one coming in about 30 minutes which I ordered Wednesday AM.

At least cities like Boston. I am sure they are overwhelmed because people don't want to go out.

Well, I don't live in a city like Boston,
but Albuquerque is 568,918 people, and metro Albuquerque is almost one million people (905,049).

I hope delivery here doesn't get worse.

Serviced by only a few grocery delivery services. That can get pretty overwhelming when everyone is ordering in.

Everyone is overwhelmed. This is unprecedented. It is not surprising that they are having a hard time coping with the excessive demand.

up some extra work. Most places have contact-less delivery where they just leave the delivery at the door so the delivery person does not have to come in contact with anyone (nor does the client have to come into contact w/ a delivery person). There is a huge demand now and stores can't keep up with it.
