Early on Saturday, at the bakery a few blocks from my apartment, the barista didn't quite have his new coffee-order spiel down. That morning, for fear of hastening the spread of the coronavirus, all the milks, sugars, and disposable lids had been moved behind the counter. He was nervous, he told me, because orders would take longer to dole out, and every request for "just a little sugar" or a particular type of milk had the potential to go wrong.
At the neighborhood grocery, people were starting to get irritated that this store, like virtually every other in the city, had run out of disinfectant wipes. The women running the checkout lines were gloved for the first time, spraying down conveyor belts and debit-card keypads as thoroughly as they could before the next customer piled toilet paper and canned food into their lanes.

Police Seek Customers Defrauded By Phone Sales | News, Sports, Jobs - Post Journal
The Jamestown Police Department is looking for area residents who purchased cell phones reportedly sold fraudulently from a former employee of Cricket Wireless.
In a news release sent Wednesday, police said the former employee — who is facing pending felony charges — sold about 28 cell phones totaling $5,959.72 from Cricket Wireless at 525 Foote Ave. in Jamestown and “kept the money for his own use.”
“The employee reportedly accepted these transactions in cash without a receipt or with a fictitious receipt to the employer, resulting in some of the customers’ names not being known,” Jamestown police said. “The customers have now lost their service through the provider, and the phones are now reported as stolen and unusable through the network.”
Why Customers Won't Set Foot In Banks In The Future
Many people today are avoiding public places due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and it begs the question of allowing employees and customers to do everything they would do in-person, virtually. It used to be that any kind of money-related task, from depositing a check to getting cash or transferring between accounts, had to be done in person at a retail bank branch.

Recent years have seen the rise of new banks challenging traditional stalwarts. One of the biggest differences between new banks like Monzo, Ally and Chime is that they are completely digital with no branches. These types of banks are appealing, particularly to younger consumers, because they can pass on their savings from not having physical spaces to customers. Even big bank Wells Fargo recently launched its own digital bank, Greenhouse.

Losoya said her daughter was forced to move the date of the quinceañera, and they have scrambled to make last-minute changes.
"I had to call our vendors, our cake to change the date and make sure they can change the date sooner. It's been a lot," Losoya said.
