Have You Ordered Food Since The Pandemic?

When they announced lay offs I stress ate a pizza waiting for the email saying whether or not I have a job
OP

I ordered pizza tonight. It was weird. The lady had the pizza on my doorstep and was standing nearly out in the parking lot to make sure I got it. I ate a piece and immediately after had a, "what have I done" moment.
I started thinking about how the workers could be sick and coughing on everything. Then again, we have to go to grocery stores and I'm sure people cough on shit there. I'm stressin out.

We are trying to order from places in our community that are at risk pretty frequently.
what. I don't understand

Ironically, the pizza place I like here doesn't deliver. But everything else does via DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub, etc.
There's also a legit Chinese food service called Next Dish that we use pretty often.

I'd say the only real risk if you do a contactless delivery is if the driver isn't wearing gloves. But even then, just take all the food out of the bag, toss the bag, wash your hands and you're good.
Yeah of course, especially because a lot of these places will be struggling with no dining in allowed.
I ordered Panda Express today. It was nice. Didn't even interact with the guy, he dropped it on the porch (that's an option now)
I've done carry out orders twice so far this week. On the one hand I want to try to support the local businesses to the extent that I can but I also do worry about the very real risk of infecting others or getting myself infected unnecessarily. The other thing is I'm tired of eating bagels and oatmeal all the time at home, lol.
Been staying away from fast-foody chain stuff (seems less safe...), but there are plenty of great restaurants in my town that are doing curbside pickup and could use the support since the shutdown. So like once a week.

I mean, multiple people can handle your food and you aren't exactly around to supervise if they aren't coughing on everything and using gloves.
Yes. Trying to support our local places. We are saving a ton of money in other ways in this pandemic seems like the right and tasty thing to do. Couple times a week nothing crazy.
Since I'm still working back to back 12 hour night shifts, yes — it's really hard to find time for food prep when going from one 12 hour shift to the next.
Everything I've ordered so far has been curbside pickup on my way to work, and it's been very eerie. I am very often the only customer showing up during the time I go.
