CURBSIDE & CHIPS

 One of the advantages of a blog is the conversation can go wherever and although I'm working on another entry, today I wanted to divert the convo as yesterday took us to town for a pickup for goat food no less. 

Natureman had placed the order on line and even though there's a 3 day pickup allowance, the goats needed breakfast... 

Our local stores and franchises have seen an opportunity to guarantee our business by adding on line shopping. It took some a bit longer than others but they're all adapting and still tweaking whether to charge for this service or not. How do you feel about this customer service?

No matter whether it's called Click'n go, Shop Woodman's/ Curbside pickup, most likely you will need technology. (Some do phone calls but payment varies dependent on the business.) Our convenience stores won't take charges over the phone but will come out to your car and take your card then.  Pickup time usually requires a phone to alert them you are there. Yesterday we had a faulty buzzer system at Farm & Fleet but fortunately I had my cell. 

Our Festival grocery store adds little thank you gifts in our orders. Bottled water ( Natureman has a fit, tell them we don't want the plastic) and it usually has  mini chocolates/snacks from their suppliers's new product line. Yesterday was another variety of chips.

Take a look at the note stapled to the bag.



   Mexican Street Corn with paprika , garlic and lime.

And we've had samples of other company's flavors of chips and they span the flavor continent...

Yep you read right , Korean BBQ street taco. And it did taste asian flavored.

Checking out some of the combos on line the new ones sounds like the State Fair on steroids.  Sirachi, Fried Green Tomato, Crispy Taco, Lime and Sea Salt, Beer 'n Brats, Tzatzikis, Thai Basil Chili and the list goes on...

 I don't know about you but just give me plain potato chips and maybe once in a while bar-b que potato chips and I'm a happy camper...

So tell me, back to on line shopping, are you using curbside shopping?
