WOW! I didn't know anyone actually
used this service! I guess I've just got a "thing" about buying my own food (I'm also a once- or twice-a-week housekeeping kinda guy, you know, "don't be a touchin' my stuff a"). Do you:
- Just have them buy "easy" stuff: Cheerios, Quaker Oatmeal, Tombstone Original Pepperoni Pizza
- Give them a more "generic" list and just take whatever you get (Cereal, Pizza, Rolled Oats)
- Give a *very* specific list and let them buy almost everything (La Creme strawberry yogurt in the 4 pack of 4 oz. containers, 1/2 gallon of 2% milk with an expiration date at least 10 days from today, etc)
I never really considered using this because I always figured I wouldn't get what I wanted. Do they usually do a pretty decent job (I'd imagine it may vary from property to property) or do you just have to kind of understand that you are necessarily going to get the same products / brands / quality that you would've gotten if you did it yourself?
Also, do you give the shopper a tip?
