Mario, PT(@Mario_Sneh):My elderly neighbor used to pay me $80 every other Saturday to drive her to the grocery store. For almost three years. Always the last Saturday of the month. Same supermarket. Usually the same 20-minute trip. The strange part was that she barely ever bought anything. A loaf of bread. Some fruit. Milk. Maybe a few frozen meals. She could easily have had the groceries delivered. I’d offer to carry the bags to her kitchen, but she’d always refuse. Then she’d hand me $80 and thank me like I’d done something extraordinary. One afternoon, I finally asked her: “Why don’t you just order delivery? It would probably be cheaper.”
