Has the Coop considered taking shopping orders to be able to expedite more transactions? It could work essentially like the other e-commerce based companies doing this. Perhaps, with some exceptions:
No produce (where people tend to be most picky about their food choices).
All other products okay.
Must give the Coop three days (or more) lead time to process orders.
All orders to be picked up at designated times with strict adherence to when groceries are picked up. Coop not responsible if your ice cream melts.
Picking up groceries can be done outside under a tent.
