We saw Carrefour in Jordan Village was stocking up their fresh produce for tomorrow. Will deal with them tomorrow also because we can pay with our cheques plus gain points with our shop card.

Restrictions are restrictions whether it's food for those who can afford the minimum charge or those who cannot....food is kinda required for existence Hmmm.....do you mean they will NOT be able to physically "shop" and still have to do the delivery thing in a country where the delivery system is not established? Maybe I just "assumed" a change in policy was coming to allow walk in shopping. That would be too simple and I probably should stand corrected and disappointed

I think perhaps the actual parameters of the new lockdown order have not been announced, so they are waiting to see what they are? It seemed like delivery was only going to be available on days when the stores aren't open? Or perhaps I read it wrong. Carol Hill
