If you’re desperate for that snack haul—the cheap cookies, the metal tins of shortbread, the weird “American” candy that’s definitely made in Birmingham—you have two choices. First, go to a physical store. Accept your fate as a shopper in the wild. Second, use a third-party delivery service. Some apps let you shop at B&M and have a personal shopper grab your stuff. Yes, a real human will walk the aisles, fighting for the last jar of pickled onions, just for you.
It’s called personal shopping, and it’s magical. You pay a small fee and a bit extra for the items, but you get to stay in your pajamas. You can text the shopper, “Please add a bag of those dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets,” and they will. It’s like having a fairy godparent who works for minimum wage and carries a scanning gun.
