 Now how do I feel about it ?

 Terrible  .

 For many reasons a lots of people may not have a mobile / can not download the app  - it is linked to Qatari ID . Visitors / illegal  workers / people who can not afford a mobile  / people  who can not handle a smart phone  are all excluded from shopping personally now .



 For a large crowd in Qatar there is only the online shopping now . It is unpredictable - many supermarket shows " busy " all the day  or you have to wait  the whole day for your grocery would arrive .


 Nobody will die of hunger because the small shops " dukhans " deliver quickly - you can order by phone . But their selection of food is poor .  I am sad when thinking about  all this situation here .
