My much-used travel mug developed a minor leak which caused it to drip on me every time I drank from it. I ordered a replacement yesterday (the exact same model) and thanks to the wonders of Amazon it was delivered today. The wonders of the modern age.
I did an ultimate lazy move today. I finished shopping at aldi, realised I needed things from Coles, grabbed them, realised I needed stuff form the fruit and veg shop, grabbed those, then realised I forgot to grab an ice cream so went back into aldi, then realised I needed oil so had to go into aldi yet another time, then I realised as I was unpacking into the car I forgot pepper. I said “fuck off I’m not going back in there for another fortnight” and looked at Amazon. Amazon sell SAXA pepper, so I ordered it, and now some poor, underpaid, exploited soul will come deliver me my 3.50 jar of pepper tomorrow :D
(I didn’t take a shopping list because I had to turf a lot of food that may have been tampered with and this is my first proper shop since getting home. It was easier to make a list of what I do have, than what I don’t, hence the spice list I posted earlier)
Kids these days. Back when I was a girl we didn’t have that fancy internet thing and people delivering groceries to our door. At your age I walked to the supermarket, half an hour each way with a backpack every week. If I needed something I forgot I just had to do without.
I think the closest you got to food delivery in those days was a Christmas hamper. Or maybe pizza delivery, I think that started when I was still in school.
