Yesterday my SO and I ordered groceries for pickup. We usually do this when we want to order heavy drinks and heavy items that we don’t feel like lugging and pushing in the cart. Stop and Shop charges only $3.95 for pickup orders so we just pull into the spot and pick up the groceries.
We had some new young guy this time, he was definitely high. He just stood there all awkward while WE had to put the bags in our car. Whatever.
We get home and unpack and realize that almost half the grocery items are not there. I call up and the same young guy acted surprised and shocked and asked me if someone helped us? I said YES. IT WAS YOU. Then he said oh sorry, they’re all in the fridge still. I forgot to bring it out. I’m really sorry that’s my fault. You can come back now.
Mind you, we live in the Bronx part of nyc and if you lose your parking spot in the evening time it’s over. So we had to lose our parking spot again and drive to the store and pick up the rest of the stuff. My SO was so pissed and he was yelling at this kid saying you know how inconvenient it was to come back and she’s pregnant in the car? And the same guy said sorry next time you’ll come in store I’ll hook you up. And continued to stand there while we had to put the bags in our car.
@lmn823 booooooooo. Glad your SO gave him a piece of his mind but what does that even mean "come back and I'll hook you up?" With what, a courtesy dozen eggs? Nah. I'd probably passive-aggressively email the store manager about it and request free delivery on your next order. It's the literal least they could offer.
@ki1244 you know I was going to let it slide but you convinced me. Just spent 21 minutes on the phone with the online order customer service explained what happened and she felt so bad since I threw in the pregnant card in there too. She gave me a $25 voucher for next time and $56 refund for my online pickup order. Wohoo!
@lmn823 good for you! I totally understand. We use a delivery service for groceries and some of the shopper grind my gears. I feel bad requesting refunds but when they don’t get it right, they don’t get it right. 🤷🏻♀️
@lmn823 good! I'm glad that worked out for you. It's fine to make a mistake with an order but "I'll totally hook you up" is the dumbest thing. So with your $81 now, in NYC prices, that gets you what, a pound of deli ham and a gallon of milk? (I kid, I kid)
My WTF: my daughter decided she didn't want to sleep in her bed tonight. She usually asks to sleep with us, which is a NO (my husband already takes up 3/4 of the bed, if she was in there too I'd be balancing on like 3 inches on the edge and my pregnant ass is not having that) but tonight she said "then where CAN I sleep?" I mean, your bed like a normal human, but you can sleep on the floor or your chair if you want. And she picked the floor. Ok...weirdo.
@ki1244 lol don’t even get me started with the price of eggs!! Unless he’s “hooking me up” with eggs then maybe I’ll take his offer 🤔🤣
I remember it was always a NO growing up for 3 girls in the house, my parents always said NO to us sleeping in their bed. My mom would just throw a pillow down and take out some throws out of her closet and be like here sleep on the floor next to us. Luckily it was the 80s/early 90s so carpet was everywhere
