Would you use a drive-thru supermarket?

This weekend I played with the idea of getting my groceries delivered for the first time. I looked on the website and became quite excited about the recipes available and how easy it would be to just click away and within a matter of hours have my shopping delivered to my kitchen! The product prices seemed reasonable and delivery prices ranged from free to £5.99 so I felt confident that I could get a good deal. However I chickened out at the last minute, instead opting to go to the ‘real’ supermarket instead. This was because they had a minimum spend of £40, I was worried that the fresh produce might not be that fresh if chosen by someone else (I tend to be quite particular about how ripe I like my bananas!) and thought that I would prefer the social aspect of going to the supermarket, to see other people and to choose my own fresh produce. However I opted to go late Saturday morning. This proved to be a big mistake. Having negotiated weekend traffic I then arrived at the car park to be hassled by men wanting to wash my car (even though i had already washed it that morning). Finding a space was difficult, to say the least, then I remembered that I couldn’t just park, get a trolley and go in, I had to go and get a ticket for my car (yes in the supermarket’s own car park!), I didn’t have the right change so had to over-pay. Then I had to split the ticket in two and put one half in the car. Then I needed a trolley and needed another pound. I didn’t have one! I’d used it on the car park machine. So, having negotiated my way through two women handing out unwanted leaflets for something or other (who were blocking the entrance), I went to the cigarette counter and queued up for change. When I eventually got to the cashier she informed me ‘I dont’ give out change. You have to go to customer services for that’. So then I had to go and queue again at customer services. By this time I’d had enough and wanted to just go home but I hadn’t even got a trolley yet. The rest of the shop was not much better, aisles blocked by people, no loose peaches and a long queue at the check out (behind a woman who spent about three or four minutes in a dispute with the cashier because she didn’t get the nectar points she wanted). Next time I think I’ll try the internet.
