4. I was having groceries delivered for awhile

I’d place an order online and they’d give me a window for delivery. The more restrictive the window, the more I had to pay. Delivery was actually free if you were available most of a given day and purchased more that a certain amount. I had a problem once or twice where something was wrong or missing but they always made good one way or the other.

I used to drive a delivery truck part time when I was young and learned the hard lesson first hand not to assume what was in boxes marked for a specific customer. Usually my orders weren’t very complicated and it didn’t take me long to double check things. I had a pretty big order one time and quickly found it was all messed up. I tried telling the driver and he kept arguing with me. He was in a hurry. I told him we could take the time to go thru the order one by one or he could just come back later when he got back to the store and found out not only my order but other peoples orders were mixed up. He finally relented and we went thru it together and he saw how screwed up it was. Not like he thanked me or anything but I saved him doing a lot of extra driving or even losing his job.
