I'm just curious as to how many of ya'll use grocery pickup or grocery delivery when you need groceries. Before the pandemic happened, some of the grocery stores in my geographic area started doing grocery pickup as a way of increasing revenue and standing out amongst customers. None of them offered grocery delivery until maybe about 4 years ago.

I used to be the kind of person who was against grocery pickup and delivery because I did not want somebody else picking out my fruits and vegetables although it does not matter who picks out products that come in sealed packages since a person cannot touch what is inside. I admit this is time consuming and may cause social anxiety for some. Then, the pandemic happened. I did not want to be around folks who were coughing with their mouths wide open and not even trying to keep the germs from spreading. Since the pandemic started, I have gotten my groceries delivered so many times. Picking them up is my second preferred option. And going inside is now my least favorite option although grocery shopping in my area is back to pre-pandemic times.

I am curious as to whether ya'll prefer grocery pickup or delivery, or whether you like the traditional way of walking in there and picking things out yourself?

    I think the UK had this sort of thing going for a long while. Anyone there can confirm?

    I am not against it but I personally would rather do my own shopping cause I read some feedback from places like Walmart where people deliver beat up, expired, nasty food.

    Since I'm a parent, the convenience of grocery delivery is really nice, but it's definitely more expensive than a trip to the market.
