I'm running out of produce and need to go to Market Basket in Tilton. Tilton has a low rate of infection---but many store employees probably live in other towns, and many people from Franklin shop in Tilton. Plus that store is on 93, attracting shoppers from states south. Hard to judge the safety of a particular store just from the number of infections in that town.

You may be overthinking this. Go to a different supermarket or use a shopping service like Instacart. You can even sign up for NutriSystem. They deliver.
