I used to think this, and maybe I’ve been lucky, but I get fresh produce whenever I try.

I would never get a huge produce order curbside, but I use it for the odd thing here and there.

    Usually fresh veggies and fruit are about 90% of my cart. So I haven't even tried curbside in years. I love how it is a useful job, though. Hopefully they are paying a living wage.

    It’s efficient for the grocery store, too. There’s no chance of shoplifting, less foot traffic they have to deal with and clean up after, less dealing with problematic customers.

    Honestly, I could see future grocery stores being 90% curbside, with only a walk-through section for produce. This would save tons of space and work.
