With the Covid-19 pandemic ravaging the world, our lives have been drastically different in the past couple of months. And one of the ways that our lives have been affected is in the way we do groceries. Gone are the days of 30-minute pop-ins to get our weekly groceries, because with dwindling produce, long lines, and a series of health-checks and SOPs, grocery shopping is now much more of a chore than before. But there's a light at the end of the tunnel, in the form of... online grocery shopping! So this week, we learn more about MyGroser, an online grocery delivery company in Malaysia, and hear about how the grocer scene is changing.
