I have a "Fresh Pass" with Safeway - for $35/year we get free delivery, perfect for our needs.

Placed an order yesterday that never arrived, called the help number and got the *NEW* Safeway AI assistant. After going in circles for five minutes, I finally managed to be switched to a person.

She asked how she could help me, and I told her the AI assistant was just awful. She sighed deeply and said "Sir, everyone who calls tells me the same thing..." 🤦‍♂️

@jkirkendall Home delivery sounds like a great deal and it can also save money because you're less likely to buy stuff you don't need if you don't go into the store. Unfortunately, they don't deliver where I live, although the local Walmart might. The last time the Walmart delivery guy came up here, I was his last stop, a full 9 miles from the previous one and not on his way back or home. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@mlanger I hadn't thought about the whole not buying what we don't need thing, and you're absolutely right about that!

@jkirkendall I saved a ton of money during Covid by ordering my groceries and then picking them up in the parking lot. Occasionally, I would forget something and have to go in anyway.
