I agree. This is becoming less of an issue with each passing year as people get used to the idea of ordering their groceries and having them delivered... a bit like they did 100 years ago, come to think of it.

I remember my old urban studies prof Chris Leo (who I'm sure a few others among you had) describing grocery delivery as the way of the future nearly 20 years ago... turns out he was likely right
