In these strange days in which tens of millions of Americans videoconference while they work from home, it's no surprise that occasionally, one may spy a bit of junk. And no, not the junk in the sense of a co-worker's collection of creepy mannequin parts, or another's assortment of vintage Cabbage Patch dolls. Rather, seeing a co-worker's naughty bits. Private parts. Genitals! Hopefully, you don't plan to show your bits and pieces to Jerry from Accounts Receivable. So to make sure that never happens, Gizmodo has some handy tips. First, wear clothing that covers you not only from the waist up. You might forget, and stand up. Oops! And remember that muting yourself on Zoom calls only mutes your audio. If you absolutely must get your rod and tackle out, hit 'stop video' first. Please!
With so many people working from home, restaurant traffic is down but grocery stores are getting plenty of business. But according to Business Insider, Whole Foods had 21% fewer visitors across its stores on October 4 compared to the same day last year. That flies in the face of other grocery store chains, where traffic is bouncing back much faster. At Kroger's, for example, business was only down 2%. A Whole Foods spokesperson said stores normally get a lot of lunchtime trade from office workers, who are now working from home. Sales of packaged sandwiches and salads have fallen 75%. For every five in-store shoppers Whole Foods Markets had last October, it now only has four.
