Several months ago; watching a clerk at the grocery store rubbing his face while holding a clump of cilantro he was picking out for a delivery customer put an abrupt end to any idea of participating in such a service at any point in the future.
I knew even before all of this that I would never use the instacart pick up service. I have watched those people. I am not even sure they have a timed limit for how long the frozen stuff can sit in the bags while they continue to fill orders
It would have to be dire for me to use them.
Of course if you are handicapped in some way and cant walk the store etc it is a valuable service
I know there have been a few times when my knees were so bad I had to use those rolling wheel chair things. Discovered part of the issue was my shoes so I havent had to do it in a while
Because the produce guy didn’t rub it before YOU picked it out yourself.
Or any of the hundred customers in the store before you?
Always assume anything you get in any store has been touched by people who don’t wash their hands after they potty.
