11. Glad to hear!!! But we're still not going inside any more.

The mistake of going in on a weekend was alarming, apparently traumatizing because for sure we won't repeat it, masks or no. But not on any day here in FL while 1 in 3 people tested, and climbing, are positive.

Fwiw, though, Covid's actually made us Walmart shoppers because of Walmart's sheer range of merchandise and one-stop pick-up, delivered into the rear of our car by associates who never get close. And we feel a lot better for them also.

Walmart tends to run out of some food items more than other supermarkets, and not all merchandise is available for pickup, but a very broad range of grocery and non-grocery merchandise is, face masks, paint brushes, food containers, printer paper, 40-pound bags of salt for the well. The operation's pretty smooth for its complexity. We're informed via both the app and again by the associate in the parking lot of replacements they've made for items not in stock in case we don't want them.

One of the shoppers in our closest store apparently thinks jalapenos are poblanos, though, and after two tries I'm now over-supplied with jalapenos, which join the extras I already had tossed in the freezer. Correction of payment is just a matter of hitting a button, use or toss the jalapenos, and message again to please educate the shopper. But we're still feeling rajas poblanas-deprived.
