Out "east" on Lawn Guyland?

Honestly, if I were home in NYC, I'd have walked out and had the groceries delivered or just gone somewhere else. Life's too short to put up with numbskulls. This being said, the local Fairway isn't bad since it generally has quite a few cashiers open, and a hyperactive little lady directing traffic to the next open register on busy pre-holiday nights. So rather than individual lines, you end up with an semi-amorphous blob of people being passed wherever it's fastest for them to go -- works pretty well.

This is why Amazon is the best place to shop. You don't have to deal with annoying people.

Amazon is getting into the grocery business out in CA, if it does well they will roll it out nation wide.

I just bought an Iphone charger on Amazon, vs running down the road to an electronics store. Two clicks and in two days its on my front porch...not having to deal with morons...priceless.

I don't have that kind of patience to wait two days

Not sure if I'm down with ordering groceries either. At least as far as fruits, veggies, and meats, I like to see and smell what I'm buying. Plus sending out for a bottle of OJ when I ran out and want some OJ, beer, or whatever now, runs into the patience thing. Nor do I have the sort of planning ability.

Actually, it's Blue Point, but I understand that you can't spell.

Going someplace else will consume way more than 12 minutes. Another action without consideration of the lost time.
