If they don't have what I want, they will upgrade my order at no extra price. Love that. Also our helpers won't take tips either but love getting a good write up on the "how did we do?" email they send out. <br />Thanks and you two stay well also. This service will help us stay that way.

We used to tip the person who brought the order to the car, but about a month ago, they told us they could no longer accept tips. Unfortunately, some of the items on my order don't get filled, so then I have to get them somewhere else.Even so, it's a timesaver, and we don't have to be exposed in the store where there are always a lot of tourists, sometime from states that have outbreaks.

I, too, hope the pick up and home delivery continues after virus but supposed it depends on demand. <br /><br />I’m not too keen on new Blogger either as doesn't allow me to copy and paste from Word where I prefer to write my blog posts over many days— much better for me than composing directly on Blogger.

It's great for heavy and or bulky items such as toilet paper, laundry/cleaning products, dog & cat food or litter etc. Although not everything I need is available for delivery but not having to load my purchases into and out of my vehicle is a big help plus going this route cuts down on the amount of time I have to actually spend shopping inside the store..a win win for sure.Betty Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04665783391318889236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-43746215891153090122020-09-28T14:37:22.904-05:002020-09-28T14:37:22.904-05:00When all is said and doe, Covid will be responsibl...When all is said and doe, Covid will be responsible for many similar improvements in the way we do things. joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-41610313153021272092020-09-28T14:00:33.484-05:002020-09-28T14:00:33.484-05:00We don't use it --but both Walmart and Kroger&...We don't use it --but both Walmart and Kroger's have gotten good reviews here.

Here they charge for delivery but don't for pickup--but have a minimum total of $50, I think it is. Even our Bed, Bath & Beyond has started drive up service, I saw! The more businesses that do it will probably be able to stay afloat!
