Results: I have used curb side grocery pickup for over a year now, allowing others to shop for me. This has been a mixed blessing.

If you do not like their substitutions and reject them, why? the size they picked is not the "sale" size or the B1G1 Free size

the quantity is wrong so you do not get the sale price (like you have to buy 3 and they only gave you two so you paid full price).

the "healthful " ingredients do not resemble what you ordered (for instance, you ordered keto and got low fat instead)

To what, if anything, do attribute this strange shopping experience? young workers who still live at home and have never actually shopped for groceries before

In too much of a hurry so they just reach and give you (sometimes) spoiled produce, wrong flavor etc.

If you have enjoyed these experiences, have you thought about subscribing to one store's "instacart" for $99 a year free delivery (maybe have to buy $35 worth each time?), or walmart plus etc.? Yes

I recently accepted a two week free trial of one of these services, and for that they have eliminated the "service charge" of $2.75 but kept the $2 tip for the delivery person. Have you? Will you continue? Cancel? accepted free 2 week trial
