[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are more productive uses of time than wasting 1.5 to 2 hours door to door grabbing the same grocery items once a week. And grocery delivery is basically free, so it’s silly not to use it.[/quote]

It's not free.  There's the uncharged on each item and 15-20% tip.[/quote]

According to this weekend’s WSJ, it actually is free right now because Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other grocers are eating losses to run delivery and pickup. Sure, you should tip. Saving 1-2 hours of free time is worth a tip! You’re avoiding boring manual labor, you’re not putting miles on your car, you’re not burning gas or electric, you’re not wearing your back out loading and unloaded heavy groceries.[/quote]

This feels overly dramatic for what shopping is like living in a city. We live a few blocks from a decent store (think Safeway not Whole Foods) and just get what we need a few times a week. It takes 15minutes and no back problems.[/quote]

In other words you’re a childless DINK with no life? Who the heck has time or desire to hang out at Whole Foods a few times a week.[/quote]
