Ever order groceries to be delivered? Now that my family is working full time, an actual trip to the grocery is put off. Most of the time my order is okay, but other times? I always check “no substitutes” because I have a few items I’m picky about. Whole milk given when ordered skim, etc, the largest box of a different brand (I assume no one likes it and they pawn it off on me), and other things that I don’t order but magically show up in my bags. The milk one time had expired the day before I ordered it😳Coffee flavor pods that I never wanted to try, three batches of spinach instead of one small one…of course it will expire before I could use it all. Just a few of the delivery complaints, but the driver is not the shopper so you still have to tip. After all it is their job! I only had one delivery left in the foyer of my building instead of my door down the hall. It was almost funny, white bags strewn across the lobby entry. That person must have had a really bad day😀😀😀
