mike carey Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Making lasagna today. I'll be looking for ricotta (or cottage cheese in a pinch as a substitute). My local Aldi had plenty of ricotta when I was there two days ago. Big plastic sieve-like containers, about a kilo by the look of them. Not much use to you though.

mike carey Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Interesting development in Australia. I rarely spend over $100 so it won't affect me (and I always use tap and go). [MEDIA=twitter]1245949000651608064[/MEDIA] + bashful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnychgo Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I found bread and milk today at the store. No peanut butter. I've set up a disinfecting station in the garage for incoming from the store. Once disinfected everything goes in a transfer tote inside the door. Then all clothes off, into the washing machine, and I scamper into the shower to clean off any potential incoming virus. I'm kind of doing the same, tossing the clothes into the washing machine, spraying down the coat, disinfecting groceries and then the counter, double washing my hands and then washing my face. Now I might start jumping into the shower also. Also then wipe down all the doorknobs and light switches. Sounds extreme, but since it now seems to be spread by talking and breathing, well, if it gives me a bit of peace of mind, why not. + E.T.Bass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ E.T.Bass Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 That’s the right thing to do. Not many of us have that discipline though. I have the standard California house with washer and dryer in an attached garage, so is workable for me. lonely_john 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ bashful Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) This morning my Kroger had plastic freezer bags over the checkout keypads. Am I missing something, or does this just move the problem from the keys to the bag? It could help if they changed the bag after every customer, but I didn't see that. I was wearing gloves, so it was an academic question for me. But it didn't make much sense to me. I agree. All those credit card machines should be re-programmed to be like Costco. Insert card, wait for it to say remove card, and your're done. No hands touching the machine. No having to use the attached "pen" to sign. None of that stuff like; do you want to contribute to this or that cause, or how was your shopping experience, and have to press the screen to respond. Edit. In the Chicago area, Mariano's is the only store that I've been to that is similar to Costco. Jewel, Shop and Save, and Meijer credit card machines all require using the "pen" or touching the machine in some way.

+ tassojunior Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/food/article/21127487/trader-joes-on-14th-street-nw-is-closed-until-saturday-after-employee-tests-positive-for-covid19?fbclid=IwAR0m2gTPfcgIBuRDp3jABE0fGAz6vFRO7S4Z1Tf9xJx_sA_Vnr05PLS6mkI A lot of grocery store employees are testing positive or getting sick. This story by my house doesn't even mention two other local Trader Joes that have closed for scrubbing after an employee got sick. The large supermarkets are not even closing to clean. When you must go in any grocery wear the best mask you have, glasses, and sanitize, sanitize, sanitize. Shower and change clothes when back home. liubit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ tassojunior Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Several DC grocery stores have had employees with coronavirus with a couple deaths. New emergency rules: masks on customers, one-way aisles, plastic partitions, line-up outside to get in, gloves and masks on workers, etc. Should have been done a month ago as grocery stores are obvious petri dishes. https://dcist.com/story/20/04/09/shoppers-are-now-required-to-wear-a-mask-in-d-c-grocery-stores/ Shoppers Are Now Asked To Wear Masks In D.C. Grocery Stores D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday issued a new order mandating that stores post signage at store entrances instructing shoppers to cover their faces with a mask or other covering while shopping. It also limits how many people can be in the store at one time to allow social distancing, requires hand sanitizers or wipes to be available at the entrance, and encourages stores to use one-way aisles. The order also includes new rules for grocers — they have to check employees for symptoms and install plastic shields in checkout lines by April 20 and immediately end self-service food stations like hot buffets and salad bars. Workers who interact with the public must be provided with masks and gloves if possible. + Axiom2001, + Hoover42 and Monarchy79 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cany10011 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Many Asian stores already implemented plexi glass shields, face masks and gloves for workers and customers a month ago. Some even hand out gloves if you don’t have one. They also limit to 25% capacity so it isn’t overcrowded. + Charlie and + tassojunior 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Pensant Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My local grocery has outside sanitizer stations, boxes of latex gloves at the inner entry and all the other accoutrements mentioned. I always wear an N95 mask, glasses and a cap. The rare times I’ve been there lately, it’s been pretty empty. + Charlie and + tassojunior 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Charlie Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The rules in my local supermarkets seem to change every few days. This morning my Albertson's had one-way aisles, and an employee at checkout whose job was to enforce the six foot separation between customers. There was also a SaranWrap-type cover on the charge card keypad, that could be changed for each customer who used it. + honcho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
