The Current Crisis & Beyond

A possibly fortunate coincidence: Target gave this reporter a free (allegedly a "($99 value)") one yr. Shipt membership because the local Target is being remodeled. We'll see if/how that works. Gave it a shot today & was advised:

High demand may limit availability

And, US$7.00 for orders under US$35.00. (Contracted it & died saving himself seven bones.) My only immediate need is moloko for coffee, & I'll bet there's no milk at any of the local stores anyway.

Less immediate desires may also be affected*:

 NOTICE: Our shipping department is closed until at least March 30 due to government mandated closures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. All orders will ship when our shipping department re-opens.

Haven't heard that the U.S.P.S. is stopping operations. Maybe they laid off the wage slaves but don't want to admit it. Similar outfits have closed their meatspace facilities to the public but are still shipping.
