I recently realized Peapod’s only fatal flaw: you will inevitably need something immediately and can’t wait for Peapod to deliver, so you must go to the grocery store. And that is when the problem arises: you’re at the grocery store, walking around trying to remember the few things that you need and where to find them, and they’re out of stock of at least one of those things. Joy!
So, now I either leave the store without those few items I need, or settle for something similar but not quite right. I made that decision (I settled), and headed for the checkout lanes. Since I went to Dominick’s and not Jewel, there were no self checkout lanes. And then another problem presents itself: the annoying cashier.
The cashier I got was one of the many I always try to avoid, but I had little choice as the express lane closed as I walked up to it and the other lane was going rather slow. Lo and behold, the lane I finally chose ended up going even slower! Between the cashier being very old and her being very talkative, I swear I spent ten minutes for her to ring up and talk to the two people in front of me. The woman directly in front of me had that "I’m just going to smile and hope I don’t snap" look on her face. It was pretty intense. I was so glad to be out of there.
It’s visits to the grocery store that make me appreciate when Chris plans out meals ahead of time so that all of the shopping can be done on Peapod.
