We’ve all had to make significant adjustments in our lives because of the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition to personal and professional pivots, we’ve had to change the way we shop. The pandemic has popularized experiences like contactless payment and curbside pickup, leading many to wonder whether these trends will continue even after things return to “normal.”
