(20,176 posts)Many grocery stores now run delivery services such as Peapod. Ironically these services create jobs...someone has to take the list you submit, product select your items, for loss-prevention reasons the product selection must be checked out by a second human being (no automated or self-checkout) and they need to hire a driver. Typically, there's a delivery charge but often that's waived if you exceed a certain amount of inventory, I think it's $80 for Peapod.
Tip your driver, often they're also your product selector.

(39 posts)But to let one of them bother you is a waste of your time. Screw them, you're allowed to have your opinions and beliefs.
