The global pandemic has changed the habits of both sides of the market. The study maps selected changes in the lifestyle of Czechs and Slovaks. Specifically, it focuses on examining changes in the eating habits of customers who have been under the pressure of social distancing and re-closure of the mortar and brick businesses forced to move their interactions dominantly into the virtual world.
