[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is status related at all. Maybe time related. Of course it makes sense that retirees with no job can go to the market and shop for hours every day. Busy parents doing grocery pickup or delivery just makes sense for how busy they are. [/quote]

It's just an interesting observation is all. A broader theme of UMC becoming more and more secluded, seemingly outsourcing everything to a servant class. We don't go into coffee shops, we order from an app and don't have to speak to baristas. We don't go into grocery stores, worker bees deliver it to our door step. We take an uber and request the driver not talk.[/quote]

Any actual data on this?

You don't see the Starbucks pick-up area full of mobile orders? You don't see luxury SUVs in the Whole Foods and Target pick-up spots? If you live in an UMC neighborhood, you don't see your neighbors getting groceries delivered, plus landscapers, house cleaners, nannies, and/or dog walkers? Uber eats and Door dash delivering restaurant to-go? It's certainly a theme.[/quote]

So, no.  No actual data.
