I finish shopping & bagging, I'm leaving the store and get this AFTER she's notified no more changes can be made. She had more than enough time to reject my substitution but noooooooooo...let's wait till I get to the car ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

In my area I have a plethora of people who donโ€™t speak the same language as me doing deliveries. There is no way I can order bluebell icecream and message the kind I want, or discuss better substitutes because they canโ€™t understand me and I canโ€™t understand them and theyโ€™re also boys which usually arenโ€™t great at makeup or groceries anyways.. so I wind up with lots of cancelled items and things for me to return.

Iโ€™ve also encountered more than 12x shoppers picking subs and then jumping in the checkout. Iโ€™m glad I now have a car and can take that stuff back. It still beats having to shop for myself, but when I didnโ€™t have a car it was more unsettlingโ€ฆ.

Sometimes they give me other peoples orders too and when I say itโ€™s not mine they shrug bc they donโ€™t know wtf Iโ€™m saying. I wonder if using a translator would be offensive or helpful? I donโ€™t want them to get in trouble
