And sometimes the self checkout at my local Walmart is itself all shut down, and I’m directed to the one and only human checkout person in the entire store. And even though it’s after midnight, suddenly there’s a long line waiting for this one live cashier. And all the other food stores in town are closed. Solution? Go to the nearest gas station with attached “convenience” store and pay three times as much for low quality food.
I shop Amazon and Ebay all the time, and USPS is far superior to UPS, FedEx, and DHL at getting my items to me promptly.
