I wonder if this sentiment was common when the introduced the stores where you have to go and pick up the products instead of telling someone what you want.

Part of me wishes the old dry good / mercantile shops were still a thing in my area. I still make occasional trips to stand-alone butchers, bakeries, green grocers, florists, and delis but if I need shelf stable stuff my only choices are supermarkets or convenience stores.

We're headed back that way with online ordering where they bring it to your car.

I've had them just deliver it to my home. Very handy if it wasn't as expensive
