Off-topic and kinda counter-intuitive but I don’t with delivery these days (or actually, ever.) especially with the delivery windows more than a week out. (I was briefly looking at Good Eggs but everything on their web site sold out) I just go when fewer people likes to go grocery shopping- early mornings on weekdays. It doesn’t rain any more but rainy days work well.
I also go to shops where fewer people shop. So I have been avoiding Costcos. For Chinese shopping, I have gone once since the pandemic to New Wing Yuan. They never had many people to begin with, and they still don’t. No idea how they sustain, but its maximum social distance. I was told Mountain View 99 lets in certain number of people at a time. Wait is about 15 minutes during the week, and 30 minutes during the weekend. But not all 99 practices this model. Some, I was told, apparently have as many people as during the New Year shopping days.
