Picklelessly


It's been over a month now since my last pandemic grocery store report and groceries I normally buy at Target have been depleted.  I've been shopping at Sam's Club because I don't have to wait in check-out lines there. 

Today I decided to give Target a shot.  There were still parts of the store with bare shelves, but at least they have toilet paper and paper towels again and it was not nearly as bad as a month ago.  They also have whiteboards at the front entrance that let you know right away if a hot ticket item is in stock or not. 

The subject of today's image had me scratching my head though.  Why on earth was there a run on pickles?  I just don't understand people sometimes.

The check-out aisles have changed dramatically.  There is now Plexi-glass between the cashier and the shopper.  And they also did something I really, really love.  They cordoned off the individual registers into one line and an employee directs you to the next available cashier.  No more getting stuck in a slow line behind someone!  I told the cashier they should have it like this all the time.  She said some people really hate it, but I don't understand why.  I, for one, was really pleased with the new checkout process.
