You’re still buying more food from the grocery than you would otherwise
You are probably correct, but eating at home is way more efficient/cost effective at home than out. I make a little more to have leftovers or I buy an extra lb of cold cuts for the week.
and you can make the effort to buy from specialists (like directly from a butcher) instead of going to whole food or similar chains.
Yeah but I don’t. 😆
Just to be clear I wasn’t making an argument for forcing people back into the office. I’m squarely against it for most jobs that can be performed remotely. I was just pointing out that it’s not just landlords and lazy managers who were effected. I know of at least a couple shops who’s primary business was the lunch crowd that are now closed due to the pandemic.
