Because we’re being robbed by their grocery stores

So, there was a short period of time during the height of COVID where some restaurants tried leveraging their wholesale networks to sell groceries to those cooking at home. It wasn’t tried at my job, so I have no personal experience, but I’m assuming it never really caught on as I don’t hear about it anymore (and if you can trust the food delivery guy, he’s not seeing it either).

But, that was when the grocery stores were still cheap, comparatively speaking – That questions if you’ve tried knocking on restaurant doors to express your interest in starting that (back) up? They might be keen to expand into new opportunities, not realizing that people are growing fed up with the traditional grocery stores and are excited to try alternatives. It is not like grocery stores are the only place to get food.

That said, perhaps you actually prefer to be voluntarily robbed? I don’t judge.
