Sure, but a person who goes to the store 7 times a week is ~7 times as likely to have been sampled compared to someone who goes only once a week. They are also ~7 times as likely to have contracted covid-19 at the grocery store. It's likely that they are also, in general, isolating less than the other.

This sampling would have a (possibly slight, but still unknown) bias towards people who are isolating less (who you would expect to then have a higher than average percent positive for antibodies, assuming isolating is helpful).

I don't think anyone knows whether or not this is a more representative sample than the stanford study.
