Many grocery stores have started offering such services, allowing a customer to place an order over the phone or online, then receive it outside the store, thus minimizing the interaction with store staff or other customers. |

(They might be wearing [[2367: Masks|haunted Halloween masks]].) When Beret Guy expresses disappointment at the revelation, complaining about the stuffy air of the shop, the contact advises him to consider the virus as part of the curses that come with their products. An angered Beret Guy promptly proclaims that he will ''not'' be doing business with the location if they are going to showcase such an attitude towards the pandemic. He had previously attempted to stop the pandemic by destroying a [[2332: Cursed Chair|Cursed Chair]], but evidently, he has either failed to destroy the chair or found that the chair had nothing to do with the coronavirus. |
