Cash-i-no shopping
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Ealing.
- Friday, 15th of September 2023
This shopping mission once again showed me that things get slower rather than quicker when I'm in a hurry. This was my third visit to Mr.H and he has the shopping list written in detail so that I won't get things mixed up.
I've eaten peanut butter, almond butter, and even cashew butter. I never thought that there would be pumpkin seed butter available in supermarkets. Today's shopping requires visits to three shops. M&S, Planet Organic, and Tescos.
Went to Planet Organic and got the pumpkin seed butter and then sprinted to M&S to buy the organic vegetables and Radiotimes magazine. The organic cabbage was out of stock. Except that I got all the items. Like the first time, I scanned everything in a self checkout machine which only accepts cards. Cancelled that and went to the other side of the shop where the self-checkout cash machine was available. To my luck, that machine doesn't accept cash as well. Waited in the queue again scanned in a third time and paid via cash. Took more time to pick the items than to pay for them.
Tescos shopping was the easiest, or so I thought. It's just to buy two water bottles. Got them in under a minute and waited in the self-checkout and realized that all the self-checkout machines only accept cards, not cash. So I had to queue in a till for 5 more minutes to pay by cash. The reason I wanted to get this quick is so that I can make it to Greenford in time for the furniture moving mission. Once I delivered the shopping, Mr.H verified that everything was correct and asked if the shopping was under £30 as mission control had explained the cash limit policy. The shopping was under £25.
