Wegmans has a hybrid shopping service now... besides the home-delivered
(for a fee) service, they also have what they call curbside service...
they do that for free, going through the store to pick out the grocery
order, and then the customer drives up to the curbside pickup to pick
up the groceries... dunno if one has to pre-pay by credit/debit card to
do that though... And I probably still wouldn't take advantage of that
service either, but it is an interesting concept... :)

Hy-Vee has the free shop runner thing if you order at least $30 in
product .... not hard to do with today's prices. You can pull up to
the pick up lane and they'll load/help load your order.

I don't know if Wegmans has a minimum order for the curbside service....
never checked out the details....

Or you can go inside and get your personally selected meat/seafood/ produce/bakery/last-minute items and go to the checkout where the
rest of your order will be waiting. Payment is plastic or PayPal.

That sounds like an interesting and potentially workable variation... :)
If one did it that way, picking up at checkout, I'd think that cash
could also be an option....

They also offer free home delivery within 25 miles for orders >$100.
Or a $5 charge >$50 - <$99.99 (pretax). Not counting tipping the kid on the delivery wagon.

Wegmans uses a delivery service operating in the area... again, never
checked into the details of that either...

I've done the curbside deal - and it's very handy. Place the order,
give a window for pick-up. Hy-Vee emails/texts (both) to let you know
when your order is assembled. Text "GO" to the store when you're on your way. Call (store line) or text "READY" when you pull into the pickup point. Voila'. Quicker than finding a parking space and walking to the store - let alone trudging around picking up your staple items.

It does sound like a useful service.... :)

Might be. But I seldom carry more than tip money in ca$h. And I write
maybe three or four cheques per year. I use faaaaar more deposit slips
than cheques. Bills are paid via online bank transfer or plastic. I buy
gas with a debit card that give me a minimum of 5c/gallon discount, etc.

Plus it lets me tell the panhandlers and other leeches "I'm on plastic
only, man (or ma'am)" with a straight face.

I've an order for pick-up when I get off work today. Since it contains
frozen foods I'll leave work, shoot over to Hy-Vee, score the groceries
and beat feet for the house before anything thaws out. Bv)=

Different strokes for different folks.... I pay cash for groceries,
just about all of the time... run gas and restaurant purchases through
plastic to get the 2% rebate (and pay in full)... Pay a few bills via phone-pay, but mostly by check, and nothing online...

Plus it lets me tell the panhandlers and other leeches "I'm on plastic only, man (or ma'am)" with a straight face.

I just tell them "sorry, I just don't have anything" with a gentle,
sympathetic smile....

Guess that works.... :) I've noted the worker-bees collecting the
orders in the store for the pickups and for the deliveries... they've
got a fridge and a freezer for the perishables, right at the front of
the store, near the door to the curbside pickup... ;)
