Steering doesn't seem to be her strong point.

I wish our Home Depot had a drive through.

Driving test needs an update.

It could be done. The aisles are pretty wide.

But they'd have to remove all the marketing ¢r@p in the aisles.

First pass with the truck would take care of that.

Imagine getting stuck behind the 90 year old DIYer trying to fit a pallet load of bricks into his sedan, one at a time...

If they had scooters or bumper cars equipped with grab poles to get things off shelves it would save a lot of walking and aid in social distancing.

My luck would then see me waiting whilst he checked his loose change, realized he might be 2 cents short and then took all of the bricks back out to carefully count them.

Or with 1-way rule in place, having to follow his old Lincoln all the way down Plumbing at .1 mph with his left turn signal on.

And while we're on the topic of ignorant old scroats, I had cause to have to visit my local Publix yesterday. When I headed to the instore cooked bread area an older couple were stood in front of the bread.
1st strike: Shopping in pairs when one could do it.
His missus has a sliced loaf in the cart which along with them being stood side by side but spread out a bit means I haven't got a hope of getting there until they are done.
2nd strike: Blocking up a ten foot display because they are ignorant twats.
Matey is inspecting a sliced loaf, one that looks suspiciously similar to the sliced loaf the missus has already put in the cart, picks it up, generously handles it, puts it back.
3rd strike: handling the goods.
Now if that wasn't bad enough, he then went on to do the same with about ten/twelve different sliced loafs and a couple of bags of subs. And then, get this, they walk off without selecting any of them. What the bleeding f***.

The empathetic side of me says that he was mentally impaired and didn't know any better but she should have done. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind (too much) being held up by a dithering browser but handling half the merchandise when the whole world is trying to avoid touching stuff, it got my goat right up.

Fortunately I was in the market for an unsliced loaf, which is beyond most Floridians dextrous abilities, and remained unfondled.

To remain unfondled by a Floridian in public or Publix sounds like a good plan to me.
