Buy products off of the business's website if they have one. Purchase gift cards so you can shop at a later time. Order takeout or delivery from local restaurants. Tip extra if to help support wait staff and delivery drivers.
Try searching for the name of the business online to see if they have a website or an e-commerce store. If you can, purchase a few extra products than what you would normally buy so you can stock up and help the business make more money. Opt for delivery to avoid contact with people, or use in-store pickup if the business is local and you're feeling healthy enough to go out. If the business doesn't have a website, call them and see if there are other ways that you can order products from them. Many businesses are willing to offer vouchers or certificates for the time being so you can still support them without spending a lot of time in the store. Ask the business if they offer gift cards and find out if they have an expiration date so you know when you need to use them by. Get a gift card for the regular amount you would spend if possible so the business still has a source of income. Some businesses may allow you to buy digital gift cards or vouchers so you can order them online. Check the business's website to see if they have any promotions listed. If you go to the store to buy your gift card, wash your hands as soon as you can to keep them disinfected. Even though many restaurants are closing dine-in services, you may still be able to order from them. Try calling the business to see if you can place a takeout or delivery order from them directly. Otherwise, check on delivery apps to see if they're listed there. Usually, you can place your order for pickup if you don't want to pay for delivery fees. The restaurant's drive-thru window may still be open even if the lobby is closed. If you aren't sure, call ahead and ask. Many food service workers won't get as much income from tips during the outbreak, so it can be a stressful time for them as well. Try to add at least 5% extra onto your tip if you're able to help support them. If you aren't able to leave a large tip, give as much as you comfortably can. If possible, try to tip ahead of time through the delivery app using your credit or debit card since you can easily spread bacteria when you use cash. You may also use person-to-person payment apps like Venmo or Cash App for tipping. Just ask the driver if they have an account so you can transfer money to them.
