I actually did this job for a couple of years when Conor was 2/3/4 years
old. Does that qualify me for goddess status? ;-)

Needless to say Conor ws an "easy" toddler. He was just happy to be with me
and sat in the cart and smiled while we shopped. I would shop for 3 or 4
people at the same time, pulling one cart and pushing another. Trouble was,
I would make the moms who ordered from us feel bad that they couldn't do
their own shopping (for whatevewr reason). I didn't try to, but they had a
hard time seeing Conor coming with me while I delivered their bags. :-/
Which of course made me feel bad for making another mom feel bad.

>>Do they actually choose good veggies and other fresh
stuff? and expiration dates?>>

I did. It was part of my "training". ;-) And we would take back anything
that the customer didn't want.

It was a good service. I actually used them when Casey was born. There was
no way *that* kid was going to sit in a cart and smile at me. LOL

Life is good.

I think so! :-)

My parents are both disabled. It is very hard for them to shop. I used to
do all their shopping for them until we moved away. Now they have a local
teenager do odd jobs for them, including grocery shopping, pick up meds,
drive them to doctor's appts, mow the lawn, move large items around the
house, etc. They pay him well for his time. He is going off to college
this fall and his younger brother is going to take over most of the jobs for
him. If the "boys" are unavailable sometimes their mother will help out
too. It's a good deal for them and my parents.
