Charlize Theron doesn't get grocery delivery?

I get my groceries myself but know many who have switched to pick up or delivery during covid. I don't imagine Charlize is too concerned abt a $10 delivery charge, so why the fuck is she doing this exactly?

Instacart has been my best friend this year

Sometimes everybody needs to get out of the house, even A Listers.

It's so she can get photographed, dear.

by Anonymousreply 8January 26, 2021 7:24 AM

How else can she be photographed grocery shopping?

I'm fairly certain if she went more than 35 days without a paparazzi photo she'd have a mental crisis.

I don’t want other people fondling my groceries

Could it be that like a lot of us she's going stir crazy stuck at home and a trip to the supermarket is a good way to clear your head, she some evidence that life is continuing and it wastes an hour? That's why I go to the store and don't do delivery. I imagine life in a Hollywood mansion behind walls would be just about the loneliest thing right now.

uh huh.. Okay Charlize. This is totally legit. You're like, 'real'. Just like us. uhm hummm.

She likes to show off her son who she’s forcing to be a tranny. This woman belongs in prison

She's probably a very controlling person and would loathe the thought of someone else making substitutions for her!

R15 Oh my God, is Charlize transing the gay away? Shame on her.

by Anonymousreply 17January 26, 2021 1:40 PM

I know you are joking R16 but ... this describes me to a "T".

I do not use delivery because I don't want someone making the assumption that grapefruit is the same as oranges (yes this happened to me).

I detest grocery delivering

by Anonymousreply 20January 26, 2021 1:42 PM

Maybe she just likes selecting her own food and wants to get out of the house for a bit?

The vast majority of people do not get their grocery delivered. Even rich people prefer to get their own grocery

I prefer to buy my own groceries and no one would recognize me.

I've tried instacart a few times.

When your shopper is good, then great.

If your shopper is bad, then you're screwed.

I once had one guy make 15 substitutions for me in a trip and he asked me about every one and sent pictures of my options for every one and it swore me off of the platform. By that point, instead of getting instacart so I could work, I had spent so much time texting with him that it would have been easier if I went myself.

So now I do.

I guess we don't have anybody here who works for those apps. We would have heard the stores by now! I really do feel for those people, I know a few people at my job who work these as a side gig, and the people who use them are so entitled and horrible. The guy mentioned above who was texted every minute about replacement items was probably chewed out and got a 1 star review for not doing that before so now he's overcompensating to avoid another 1 star because they can just kick you off those platforms if you get a bad review if the day ends in y if the wind is coming from the east.

When all the brick-and-mortar stores are shut and well off people's kids have to work these apps rather than Dairy Queen we'll see changes in how they treat the employees or 'contractors'.

I use Instacart and the delivery service at my grocery store, but some of the produce they have picked out is ridiculous. PLEASE do not put shriveled old fucking grapes or cherries or mushy apples in the damn cart. I have had to add special instructions stating (what should be) the obvious: DO NOT PURCHASE FRUIT IF IT ISN'T TOTALLY FRESH AND PLUMP.

by Anonymousreply 28January 26, 2021 2:52 PM

Because you can't dent the cans to get a discount using delivery.

by Anonymousreply 29January 26, 2021 3:36 PM

Instacart and Shipt work fine IF you pre-program your substitutions. They do let you do that. Once I started choosing a sub for every single thing on my list, the many texts stopped. I might get one per shopping trip. The systems will save your subs for the next time, too. It's all about planning, people.

I enjoy grocery shopping, especially at a place like BF, and am a foodie. She might be too, I remember she was on Top Chef as a guest once and seemed to be a genuine fan of the show.

May I just point out that when Professional Church Goer Jennifer Garner goes out for groceries, her stylist makes her buy prettier things.

The first photo implies Charlize purchased a plant, but further investigation reveals this was a potted plant and she is loaded up with plain groceries.

Also, she’s missing a baguette and a bunch of celery peeking over the top of the bags.

And, she has utilized the lower shelf of the cart - visually unappealing.

This was not a good celebrity grocery trip. Nice jacket, though.

She doesn't want poor people choosing her groceries for her.

She is a stunning beauty who can strut her stuff whenever and wherever she wants to, unlike OP....

R27, for the record I gave him a 5 star review and a huge tip because he did his job and was also fun to talk to.

That didn't change my mind about the service, though. I haven't used it since. I just shop at odd hours when I'm not working on my own instead.

The problem was with [bold]instacart and the store[/bold] since the website wasn't updated. So many of the things I selected and the alternates weren't in stock. Weirder still, brands I would have chosen over both of those weren't even on the instacart store's website.

by Anonymousreply 37January 26, 2021 6:53 PM

I went directly through the grocery store and not instacart alto instacart really really wanted me to sign up for it. Anyhow it was only $5 to do pickup And I opted to just remove item if not available instead of substitute. I was v happy and will do it again this week!
