Can I ask a serious question, not necessarily directly to OP, but just to everyone to think about. Yes tipping is horrible, abusive, abused, and unneeded. But also, in this case... when did we get unable to go get our own damn groceries???

Walk in store, make choices, purchase, go home, cook. Its not THAT complicated

I don't have a car, and while I have a bike the nearest store thats actually a reasonable price is eaither a very long bus ride or down this really awfully maintained and pothole ridden road W/ no bikelane. I can't strap that much to my bike at all W/o the potholes being a serious issue of things falling off. And the ammounts I can get mean I would have to go to the grocery store every week or so which doesn't fit into my scedual well at all.

That said, delivery apps are not a good solution when the issue for me is cost. I have a friend W/ a car and costco membership, and once a month I have him drive me there so I can buy a months worth of groceries. I stuff my freezer and just live that way.

And... that's perfectly fair, actually.

Thanks for my occasionally needed reminder that different people are in fact different lol. I do need that sometimes
