I wouldn't do them even if they were available.
I refuse to evaluate "essential workers" who are stressed out, understaffed, underpaid, and risking their lives every day to go to work. I think they are doing more than enough just showing up for work every day.
I don't have any trouble auditing gas stations, taking exterior photos, or drive-thru fast food, as these operations seem to be going forward quite normally after adjusting to the pandemic. But grocery stores, big box stores, other retailers, etc.? No way.

I haven't seen the shops for the hardware store, but I have shopped at the hardware store. There are 4 in my area I do shops for. One is right down the street and is my hardware store of choice. I have shopped there several times since March. All my hardware-type purchases have been at this store since the corona. I am attempting to support my favorite stores during this bad time and this is one of my favorites. They offer online ordering and curbside delivery. That's what I've been using.
Not sure how a gas station store clerk/manager is under less stress/in less danger than a hardware chain worker. Maybe it's a regional difference? In my high-population area (Long Island) the stores attached to gas stations are usually very tiny and cramped, and they're busy. Around here I'd actually feel more comfortable being a worker in the hardware chain where at least there's some floor space to work with.@ceasesmith wrote:

I asked a scheduler about these shops. She said that was the only one that has not returned. There was no date on the horizon.

Haven't really had "out of stock" signs in our stores since the depths of the pandemic here in April.
