Assuming, that is, this thing doesn't do something silly like only confer immunity for three weeks. Once this thing starts topping off at killing 50,000 every year, nobody gives a shite. If this thing weren't a novel virus, we wouldn't be dealing with this as we are because we'd have a significant herd immunity. That's kind of the idea behind herd immunity. I believe the thinking is that at some point the peaks get lower and lower until it becomes like the flu: endemic and seasonal, but with enough residual conferred immunity (and hopefully additional artificial immunity from a vaccine) from year to year that an overwhelming number of people don't get it every covid season. Do you expect Americans to do this twice? It ain't happening. Where do the shutdowns end? With a vaccine? Okay. I understand them in principle but when you start opening up for business again the virus will still be there, just as infectious as ever, and come fall we'll start seeing the same trends once again. I search because I want to know if they have the item either at the store or to buy online.īecause of my frustration with Hobby Lobby, when the restrictions are over and we can actually shop without worry, I may rarely go into Hobby Lobby whereas “before” I often shopped weekly for crafts for gifts for grandchildren, for photo scrapbooking supplies, for card making supplies, for batting for quilts, for sewing notions, etc.This is what I don't get about "flattening the curve" arguments. I have tried online at Hobby Lobby numerous times over the past six months searching for various items that I know were at Hobby Lobby before and should be there now. I shop online at other similar businesses who have significantly better search feature. I have yet to enter Hobby Lobby in the past six months not have I been able to shop online. I want to know whether it is worth my effort to don a mask, worry about catching COVID-19, just to enter the store. Now I want to search online to see if I can find items I want either online or in the store. I used to shop Hobby Lobby store frequently before COVID-19. get with it, make your site competitive!!!!! Compared to ALL other online shopping, Hobby Lobby online has the worst. Whenever searching for items, the Hobby Lobby app brings up many totally unrelated items and few or none of the items you want regardless of what search word entered for whatever you are seeking to find. The store is fantastic, but the app needs an overhaul. You probably already have your phone in your hand when youre shopping, so why not use it to make in-store purchases Thanks to Samsung Pay, you can add. Having to type it in over and over-and flip back through pages to try to find your place-when you are looking for something specific is ridiculous. Additionally, the search bar doesn’t remember previous item searches. I have been on the 4th page of search results (or beyond), trying to locate a specific item, clicked on something to view the details, and then tried to go back to the results list.only to find myself on a blank search page (SERIOUSLY, what?). When you search for an item, it resets everything the moment you click on an item in the results. It constantly signs me out of my account every time I leave the app, OR any time I view an item in my shopping cart (again, what?). You have to click on something else to get to them (what?). Both the menu and the search bar are not on the home page of the app. However, the app is wonky and difficult to use. I love Hobby Lobby, and I love that I can view and purchase their products online.
