I went on Whole Foods/Amazon site and they were out of tons of stuff. Even after putting some stuff in cart, when going to checkout, was told there are no delivery options.
Then I went to Peapod, which appeared to be great. Had the things we want in stock, so put in cart. Then we go to check out and see all deliveries are sold out as far as the calendar goes through April 2.
I then go back to see if we can get any item delivered from Amazon, which seems different than the Whole Foods experience. We find Fage 2% Yogurt (half the size we usually buy) available. They can put it in a locker for pickup at WF or it can be delivered for $5 today, which is more than the yogurt costs. I get as you order more the delivery cost will mitigate, but with so much out of stock, what's the point? And why can we get yogurt delivered today, but an order of just 4 other items there is no delivery available? If I'm going to the locker to pick up whatever, why not just go to the damn store myself? This is what we have decided to do tomorrow morning, wearing the masks our nurse friend gave us a month ago.
One thing that is abundantly clear to me is Peapod and Whole Foods, etc. that do deliveries, should get extra truck and delivery capacity from state National Guard. Think of how many National Guard trucks are just sitting doing nothing that could be used to help deliver groceries to people so they can stay inside their homes.
