I just bought 2 Avocados on Amazon Prime

[BWillie]

Free shipping. Be here tomorrow by 11am. Cheaper than Hy-Vee and I don’t have to go to the store every 3 days now to get them. Apparently you can buy Blueberries, strawberries and all sorts of perishable shit. You used to have to pay an extra $9.99 or something for Whole Foods to do it. Was free for me.

Bezos you crazy bald bastard. You finally did it.

I've been doing grocery pickup for 90% of my groceries for around a decade now. I'd say it's an issue for maybe 1 in 20 produce items, and even then it's not complete crap, just maybe not what I would have picked. I'll gladly trade that minor annoyance for saving hours of walking around in a store.

Well then, you'd think you'd have plenty of time to fix your shit around here, mister!

It's completely dependent on the store. We get deliveries from Hy Vee and Walmart because those are the two options we have. We've never had an issue with Hy Vee. Walmart on the other hand does stupid shit like giving you parsley when they're out of cilantro.

I went to their Amazon Fresh store and few times in Seattle and it was nice.

Some stuff was just too expensive to buy there, but they had a futuristic cart where you scan items and throw them into bags, and then you just walk through a little aisle and you swipe your card and get a receipt, all from the cart.... it was cool.

You can do that at Walmart and Target with your phone.

That was just like 7 Patels in a trench coat watching you shop wasn’t it?

I'd like to purchase an item like a suction cup that looks like a butthole

It takes you hours to shop for groceries? Where do you shop? The DMV?

We live in a lazy ass society.

I eat an avocado every weekday for breakfast. They go bad fast so I really never want to have more than 2 or 3 at one time.

Why would I want to go to the store that often and then check myself out at the self check? Most of the times Im forced to do that because the line.

This service is interesting because it kinda allows you to not have to worry about your produce going bad. So many times Ive wanted to buy more produce or produce that day for an upcoming meal but didnt because I knew it would go bad before then.

If I would have picked out my own avocados maybe I wouldn't have shot all those kids in the face.

Yeah. By the time you get there. Park. Wander around the store. Wait in line. Isn't too far off.

I just find avocados to be so touchy. Especially in the midwest. I barely trust myself to pick a decent avocado.
