    More than half that crap I can't get down. Why not just get the foot long hot dog and soft drink for a buck and a quarter? You're not like Steve Jobs, are you?

    They told me they didn't have variety of pear I requested and I agreed to sub. They said they had no bags of oranges and I agreed to five loose oranges. Not cucumbers. I did not agree to other wrong items or quantities. They just sent.

    Yeah, while I've never done something like that, I'm sure it happens. I can tell when I see some shoppers that they don't put much effort into it. One explanation I've heard for the obviously bad replacements is that if the customer tipped a percentage of their total, refunding items instead of replacing them lowers the tip. But if they get items they didn't want they can lower the tip anyway and give a bad rating, so I don't get it.

    And the shoppers rating is very important. One rating lower than 5 stars and we don't see the best orders in the app anymore.

    K, I'm ordering pizza tonight and this is the only choice given. Per Sly's encouragement, I'll still call them just in case they have an in-house delivery option..

    I almost always never pay attention to what other shoppers are buying nor how they select it unless they are scrutinizing me. Then, I give them the third degree glare just before yelling "Get off my lawn!"

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    They're staring at you because you're wearing a bathrobe and waving around a toilet plunger, Lanny.

    At least you care about my appearance. I should be thankful for that. But what about the rest you lazy bums? Huh? How come you never notice and then comment on my robe (or sometimes, lack of robe) and plunger? Do you think I do this only for my pleasure?

    My microwave died and Target was able to deliver a new one in a few hours.

    So, let me the first to ask, why haven't you used Grubhub?
