Yep - no one wants to work anymore! Covid helped with that, when
people were getting paid to stay home...

This! We use delivery now because they finally deliver to our
rural area, and I don't have to spend 20 minutes ONE WAY into
town, then spend the time shopping, then check out, load my
truck, drive back home and bring the stuff up the steps. :-)
With delivery, they put it AT THE TOP OF THE STEPS so I literally
just open my carport door and bring the stuff in. :-) Love it!
