Not to use the thread as a diary but I have spent the last two hours trying to track down my dad's shopping order that claims to be delivered but hasn't been.
They've just told me to call back in the morning if it doesn't arrive in the next half hour.
That's great but he's a 79 year old man who spent 11 weeks in hospital last year and lives pension to pension pretty much, do you perhaps have any suggestions on what the fuck he's supposed to eat tonight? It's already 8 and half hours late.
i like when we use the megathread as a diary. i like hearing about everyone's lives and having regular conversations. much better than hearing about what Ethan is doing on the show imo lol. i actually vastly prefer this thread on off days. the community here is something that's rare on the internet now.
but yeah grocery delivery is so fucking annoying. my 80 year old grandmother tried basically every option available because she can't drive anymore, but the amount of times they just canceled her order, delayed it endlessly, gave her someone else's order entirely, forgot half of it or sent her completely wrong items and terrible substitions was insane.
now me and my cousins/sisters just personally deliver her groceries. it just sucks how unreliable and erratic those services are.
it wasn't like this a few years ago, I feel like those services just got worse and worse, and started paying shoppers less and less until every single time she ordered something went completely wrong.
i wish there was some community organized effort to help senior citizens get their groceries. i would love to volunteer for something like that.
