TheLeon Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I’ve thought about joining that gig economy, shopping for or picking up food for people too lazy to do it themselves, but my car is the biggest potential drain on my expenses. I can easily imagine any extra money I make going right back into my shitty car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope the workers are paid okay, I gave a nice tip (20% of the bill). I'm not sure how else they would get paid... I bet some never tip though or tip low.

I'm not sure how else they would get paid... I bet some never tip though or tip low. Good tip. Also I would use this type of service but I’m so picky. I like to make sure things like milk and yogurt are always the most lastest date. Also with my fruit I like to pick and choose only the best. I’m worried that the person doing my shopping for me won’t be as picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate grocery shopping. And there's no fee for pickup. I've never tipped for that service, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Grocery shopping is my absolute fave. Not paying someone to take away this life pleasure away from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 My wife does Walmart/Kroger/HEB curbside pickup for online orders. She likes it a lot, especially because she can “send me to the store” and I don’t have to find anything, just pick the order up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same way. I love going to the grocery store and hand picking everything, which then helps create meal ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like shopping but I'm starting not to be able to stand it. First peeve are dumb oblivious people. The ones that will block an entire aisle with their cart and their body. Then the other are aisles that are too small because the store sets up big cardboard display stands everywhere not allowing two people with carts to walk by each other. We have had our groceries delivered a few times. Its always been a great experience. The person doing the shopping will txt a bunch of questions while they are shopping like how green/yellow you want the bananas, or how thin do you want lunch meat sliced. I liked it but we're trying to save money where we can and I dont always want to spend an extra $20-30 between fee/tip to have it delivered.

Am I really paying someone under 4.00 for driving to and from, and then back home, and for an hour of work less than minimum wage without a tip???

Brian Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I don’t particularly care for food shopping but doing it myself is the only way to ensure the quality of the produce and meats I buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read into it and I guess this is an important point of training the staff because it’s the #1 concern of customers who are unsure about trying it. I’ve always been happy and impressed with what they pick out for me. They definitely aren’t careless and pick only the best stuff. Yep, these people work at the grocery store, they know what good product is. They could probably pick it out better than you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
