It just cracks me up. I know what you mean but we've become accustomed to so much convenience its just insane.
I have never shopped as sport. I tend to go to stores with a specific purchase in mind...I am not one to browse. The idea of going shopping for something to do is just not something that interests me and it never has. The only exceptions were record stores and book stores, back in the day. Part of my aversion to grocery shopping is that I don't like to cook. The whole process of thinking about what to cook, what I need, looking for the items, unloading the cart, loading the stuff in the car, taking it in the house and putting it away just makes me want to weep. Then...then, being expected to take these purchases and turn them into meals...I just don't like any part of it.
I get that it's much easier than gardening (we would die, I'm a plant killer) and hunting/butchering...grocery shopping is just a chore I have never enjoyed...and actually dreaded.
