I hope you all are either disabled, vulnerable, been advised to shield or otherwise unable to physically go to the shops themselves. Healthy people should NOT be taking slots away from those who need them most!
I am shopping for 3 other houses other than mine, and picking some stuff eg prescriptions up for another house.
I am also working full time wfh, and have 3 teens at home, and have been trying to home school.
It takes me about 2 hours to put the order in, once i have taken all 4 shoppign lists into account, and worked out how to get eveyroen bananas when the limit is 3.
Then I ahve ot go bakc to all people and ask if they wnat anything else if something is unavailable, and go on and redo the list.
The site is VERY slow, so I regularly sit in a queue.
When it arrives I have ot split it inot 4, and drive round and deliver, including a 30 minute drive ot my parents.
On the way I go to Lidl and try and fill the gaps which didn't arrive in the order.
It takes hours.
So, no, I am not going to apologise for having a delivery slot.
Gradually those households are managing to get click and collect or (but at the moment only for 1 or 2 weeks from now). When they all have another option I will switch to click and collect. (and I will be picking up their click and collect slots, so that is 4 trips to the shop for me, instead of home delivery)
