Kids these days. Back when I was a girl we didn't have that fancy internet thing and people delivering groceries to our door. At your age I walked to the supermarket, half an hour each way with a backpack every week. If I needed something I forgot I just had to do without.

I think the closest you got to food delivery in those days was a Christmas hamper. Or maybe pizza delivery, I think that started when I was still in school.
