Comment on What a great idea

I have started getting my groceries delivered. It is more expensive but worth the tradeoff to me. I’d rather cut down on my expensive habits, than spend half an hour dodging the public at rush hour, just to get it a bit cheaper.

Similarly, I started getting groceries from small old fashioned grocery stores when possinle instead of big old parking lot supermarkets.

Oh I wish those were still around here. As a kid, we had an actual mom and pop owned cornershop. I went there as a kid one time to buy my dad cigarettes, and back then people knew each other and they’d call my home line asking if I was allowed.
Shop closed because the gas station opened their own competing store, and a big brand supermarket moved in. These days I’d kill to be able to walk into a small store nearby and be able to grab locally grown produce and walk out of there.
