These people don't want to be bothered. I don't enjoy shopping but I
definitely want to select my own groceries. I like to be able to touch,
smell and get the feel of it. I can tell when a vegetable is ripe. I
can tell if the meat is fresh. Don't send me something with a recipe
card and pre-measured ingredients that you assume will feed four. I'm
not interested.
