From a personal and economic perspective, the answer is probably yes:Experts generally agree that delivery and curbside pickup are safer for a consumer than going into a store or restaurant, Joe Pinsker writes in The Atlantic. That’s because those options expose you to fewer people, and ideally none. Most delivery workers would also prefer that people keep ordering, according to Saru Jayaraman, the director of the Food Labor Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. “It’s essential for these workers to be able to survive,” she told Mr. Pinsker. If the answer still isn’t clear, that’s OK: As Steven Benko, a professor of religious and ethical studies at Meredith College, told The Atlantic, “We’re being asked to think so much more socially than we’re ever, ever asked to think.”
