I'm still confused on why anyone is still going inside. All the stores around here are still doing grocery pickup and it's faster for everyone. Going in and having to deal with children running around the aisles, people in the way, stuff in the wrong places, etc. Only a handful of times a year I need to do that now and it's glorious.
I don't trust them to pick good produce for me.
This right here. The amount of notes I had to leave on instacart saying things like "do not buy if rotten" or "check for broken eggs" which seem like overly obvious things was too much for me. I had enough after I could get my vaccine and the last grocery order I put in involved frozen food. In spite the store being relatively close to my house, the tracker showed the driver go alllllll the way out to the suburbs 30 min away after leaving the store. Then when they delivered my groceries finally, I went to put everything away and realized the bagger didn't put the frozen stuff in a cold bag. So all that stuff was completely ruined. Never ordered groceries again. But I also laughed at the time I ordered 1 zucchini and they picked out the smallest zucchini I've ever seen in my life. Like... ok there's nothing wrong with it, but I didn't even know 2 inch zucchinis even existed ๐
cause i feel like a dick making them come out and wait on me. i'll get them properly delivered or just go in [which is usually somewhat enjoyable since stores are designed to be dopaminergic]
I shop at Aldi and it costs money. They aren't even employed by the store but by the service.
no way it costs money??!!?! D:<
