Hi HN! We realized that curbside pickups is a great compromise for everybody's health and safety right now. We built Curb Run because we found it very difficult to get a curbside pickup slot at our local Wegmans. Willing to drive a bit further away to another location, I hacked together a little script that would check for pickup slots across multiple stores in a radius. Fast forward, friends and family started hearing about this and asked if we could help them too. We ended up turning this into a web app for everybody to use -- and with many more stores and chains across the US. We hope that this can help you as well!

How do you assure that this tool isn't used by the lazy techno-elite to snatch up all the delivery slots? Rather than say the older and technically less literate, whom are probably more at risk and more in need of those delivery slots? Yes, I totally get the concept and could use it myself. But I'm also reasonably young and healthy and would rather shop at the store and let the "at risk" population use these grocery store features to be safe.

  You're welcome to not use it. The whole reason this exists is because "these grocery store features" don't exist. Sites should be implementing their own waiting list, but that hasn't happened, so here we are.

  Clarification: this app is only for curbside slots, not delivery.
