So waiting in a line at TJ's in below freezing weather makes it stand out in a bad way, IMO.
My local Walmart which has three or four times the square footage of a Publix Supermarket, has a long line of people waiting to get in, even at 10pm. Meanwhile, no one limiting people at Publix, and they have removed the one way arrows down the aisles. They never really enforced the one way aisles for all the months it was posted. People do still have to wear masks and socially distance themselves, but with the vaccinations being more populated, how much longer do you think this will be required.

Spoke to my brother the other day about how Australia is handling Covid-19. He told me most of the country has no restrictions except for the Melbourne area, where he lives, because being an island country, and the restrictions on outsiders visiting, there has been very few cases of Covid-19. He is leaving Coles who recruited him from the USA in 2017, to joins Woolworth's. I hope he finds what he is looking for in his job.

Getting back on topic:

Had Olive Garden takeout. My wife doesn't eat much, so we can cheat. I ordered the Create your own w/Angel Hair and Meat Sauce. I order the Chicken Gnocchi soup as my included side. I then order a kid's meal Spaghetti and Meat Sauce with the included side of Spaghetti and tomato sauce. She will usually get two meals out of the Kid's portion, so we save money, and she consumes the soup over the two meals. If we dined in, she would usually eat a quarter of the full size meal and we would spend double in the restaurant. No harm/no foul in my opinion.
