Now they seem to have gotten their processes figured out and moving on to this new era. Other restaurants that have easily adapted to the new paradigm, like Oakwood and pizza places, which were more predisposed to this adaptation. Good job guys.

- Small thing, but never tried a pot pie from the freezer section. Publix had a BOGO on Marie Callendar pot pies. Darn they are pretty good. Never would have tried that option but for the virus.

- Going into a liquor store with a bandanna and not being figured to be a bandit.

- Just how super important our health care workers really are. They have been much underappreciated in the past.

- The creativity of businesses as they figure out ways to adapt. Buy a car from home. Schedule your car service with home pickup, delivery, and sanitizing as well.

- What captures what you are seeing?


nice post..

off the top of my head what am I seeing going forward...

well those touch pads at the fast food restaurants and at the airline check in counters are going to be a thing of the past pretty soon

grocery stores will never give up the 'one way aisles' now that they have us doing it

banks will reinstall a glass barrier between you and the teller

I'll continue to use a plastic grocery bag over my hand whenever I pump gas at a gasoline station

handshake deals are gone forever...especially spitting in your mitt and shaking

line dancing will become more the norm vs. actually holding on to your partner while dancing

a lot of venues will follow suit with the air lines and will not sell the open seat between ticket orders

the social distancing spacing at checkout counters will continue

people will continue to wear masks....especially while traveling

hopefully we don't need two pictures on pass ports and driving licenses (one with and one w/o a face mask)
