If our power grid got taken out, I’d just go to Home Depot and buy a generator, and then stop for gas on the way home.
Best gas up the day before.
While the pumps are still operating.
That's a lot of work. I'm just going to order mine online and have UPS bring it to my door. Maybe some steaks for the grill too. You pay extra for two-day delivery but nothing is too good for me in a civilization-shattering apocalypse.
“then stop for gas on the way home”
You’d be better off stopping for beer, a lot of it.
You forgot your sarcasm tag.
“If our power grid got taken out, I’d just go to Home Depot and buy a generator, and then stop for gas on the way home.”
Don’t forget your credit card.
You get bonus points for having a generator to power the gas pump too!
I’m assuming you’re joking.
Home Depot would be sold out of generators by the time you got there. Even if there was one still on the shelf, you couldn’t pay for it if you didn’t have cash as the credit card machine would be down. You’d also likely be shot or stabbed before you got the cash register. The gas pumps wouldn’t be working so you just wasted however many gallons of gas on nothing. The trip home would take hours with the traffic at a stand still.
