Good to know that gloves are used for each delivery. Yes, you are correct......as long as I or hubby can drive, we will not use home delivery.
Gloves are for employees protection, not the consumer home. They use a keypad to enter house, or garage, then touch refrigerator, freezer, cabinet and pantry handles. Employees are subject to handles that could be previously touched by sick kids, adults, and just everyday grime.

Applying hand sanitizer 40-60 times a day, strips sebum natural oils that are to protect the skin, blocking bacteria from entering tissues.
Health care workers actually have a higher rate of illness, not because of patient exposure, but washing hands more than 60 times a day.

So gloves are very important to keep healthy delivery employees.

10 years ago I figured it took me more than 3 hours a week to grocery shop at two different sites. From drive, shop, stand in checkout. Our stock orders arrive at my front door in hours every Friday Morning 6am. Our 3 kids are coming next week, ordering their needs on my standard order. More quality time, and nothing missing. I really don’t need to touch everything on my list, it’s the same bag every week. My mom scoffed at home delivery, until I sent her first order. Now you couldn’t get her to waste time in a grocery for a winning lottery ticket. Instead she spends more time with friends
