The grocery stores near me have taken down their coffee grinders during the pandemic. They had signs posted saying:
“Temporarily Closed for Sanitary Reasons due to Covid-19”.
When lockdown ended, the coffee grinders were covered in in plastic and the signs were re-phrased to:
“Temporarily Unavailable until Further Notice.”
Then one day it was all gone. The store employees and managers said at first that it was because of Covid, then a few months later they said it was ‘upper management’ decision – this was for both corporate and family-owned stores.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I ended up buying a Cuisinart coffee grinder at this family-owned grocery store chain (they’re popular in parts of Canada and upstate New York).
