Shopping

The "doc" proves your order. Perhaps then the store help would honor your order instead of turning you away, especially because of an apparent error on the part of the store.
Note that most online stores nowadays send a confirmation e-mail for an order. Print it out.
If you wanted to go a step further, the you could print out the transaction history for your credit card showing the store order debit on your account.
I note that you did not mention whether or not the store actually did debit your card account. It may've done so without generating the physical fulfillment of your order for pickup. Then you'd likely want to ask for a refund. Moreover, your credit card company could reverse the charge for the unfilled order.

Went shopping last Tuesday, getting there early in the morning along with the rest of the older folks. In that long line, only 5 or 6 of us had masks on. Same with the people working in the supermarket itself. We need to start taking this seriously.

Totally agree: "We need to start taking this (the Chinese virus) seriously."

It would seem people the world over are facing the same problems when it comes to food shopping!

My regular grocery store (Harris Teeter) delivers within a day of my online order. There is a charge, but you can sign up for a yearly fee ($99) that allows as many free deliveries as you want. My pharmacy also delivers, so I haven’t been out of the house for several weeks.

Thank god I'm a country boy! Wife and I get by quite well on what we preserve from the garden. Were this virus to go really south it would mean folks would likely have to revert back to living off the land, survival of the fittest, etc. For eons mother nature has kept a system of checks and balances in place in order to preserve life on earth. I doubt she gives a whit whether or not we survive this event. It may be that her order is still in place, keeping with what she has always done. Survival of the fittest.

We go shopping on Monday afternoons. Our local Kroger's has never been crowded and there have been only one or two shoppers in each open checkout line. Now, of course, they have inventory problems these days .....

Your point is well taken. I am a “city boy”, but I have spent my fair share of time living and working on a farm, and at times like these, it becomes apparent how dependent city dwellers are on outside services and supplies. My mother grew up on a farm in Virginia where they were completely self sufficient in every way, including a saw mill and blacksmith shop. They would have had no issues in isolating and sustaining themselves for as long as necessary. The city I live in is busy developing the highest density city center possible at the expense of any semblance of independence at time like these. I wonder if our city planners will have cause to rethink their plan after observing the apocalypse in NYC and other large metropolitan areas that is taking place due to the high population density.

I ordered on line from Kroger, they said pickup between 3and4pm Sat. Which was a week. They had my credit card number and total. Got there at 3pm store was completely full of people. Finally found a place to park, called inside. They said they didn’t have a record of my order. Whole week shot. Thanks Kroger.😷👎
Did they send you an email confirmation with an order number? They did for me. Our Pay Less (Kroger-owned) is very efficient.

I have been having Kroger and Walmart deliver for months. since the shutdown home deliveries have skyrocketed. now I can get a delivery about every 2 weeks from Kroger. it's been 3 weeks and i'm still waiting for a date from Walmart.
if you have to go out, put on the mask and git-er-done.

You can freeze milk (if in a plastic bottle) and bread. Limit excessive use of milk like use fruit juice instead of the milk. A couple of bottle should last for quite a long time. I have watched (mostly on TV programs but also in real life) people fill up those huge bowls with cereal and milk then only eat half of it. They will always be running out of milk. Its called using your brain.

I would not use the word 'skittish' to describe people trying to be safe... perhaps cautious?

We are shopping on-line, but we've done that for 20 odd years. These days we usually use a 'high end' supermarket but it's the bigger mass market chains that have reacted best to the situation offering more slots and availability.
I'm just thinking peoples cupboards must be full by now?

My sense is that the panic, fear, hoarding, and overreaction in response to the Chinese virus has abated somewhat. It helps that the President keeps the public informed and goes around the alarmist news media workers.
