Even though I can’t risk eating at sit down restaurants at this particular moment, I can still make carry-out orders and get them when I’m grocery shopping or running other kinds of errands.
This isn’t as easy any longer either, as most people in our section are going separate from a mask nowadays.
Just walking into a restaurant full of mask-free people is truly enough to prevent me from going back again. Thankfully, there are more restaurants who offer convenient delivery programs. Originally you had to use some sort of third-party company such as Ubereats, DoorDash, and Grubhub, but now several local restaurants have hired their own delivery drivers. It was their only way to stay alive and afloat as states across the nation were bringing on harsh bans with indoor dining. I’m definitely glad that the restaurants that added delivery services are still offering them. Even though some people suppose the pandemic is finally over, the delta variant is killing people worldwide right now. It’s making its way through this country something like a deadly hurricane hell-bent on destruction. I’d much rather get a delivery order from the restaurant instead. Happily, most of the dispensaries in our state rolled out weed delivery services last year and have kept them going. There definitely are times when you have to spend money on a delivery fee, but it’s entirely worth it. I don’t want to spend time in a dispensary lobby for half an hour with people who aren’t wearing masks anymore. I have a brand new delivery order set for Monday, but I’m worried the dispensary is going to postpone it due to the awful weather. Unluckily, I won’t know for certain until Sunday if and when the postponement will occur.
