for the most part, the grocery stores themselves don't seem to make any effort to prioritize curbside or delivery slots for high-risk people. why should a third-party notification service be expected to do so?
I commented this already above so forgive me, but in the UK, Sainsbury's is limiting curbside and delivery to high risk people. But they're only able to do so because they're getting a list of high-risk people from the government and validating against that list. That isn't really possible for us. https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/working-to-fe...
How would you know? I just checked a few times and they are always full, at least since the first week, so I gave up. Doesn't tell you anything about who is using it and how.
I've checked instacart, amazon, and a couple local stores for delivery/pickup slots. there's no place on any of the web forms to indicate that you would be eligible for a priority slot, and I haven't found any news articles to suggest otherwise. my seventy-year-old parents are also unaware of any way to get priority slots, so I am assuming they don't exist. my impression is that the stores consider "elderly hour" to be an adequate solution.
