Understandable, but the difference between a grocery store closing at 9:00 PM versus 10:00 PM is pretty big and comes up for us a lot (since I play softball most evenings and we often can't pick up anything on the way home any more).
Walmart delivery. Just sayin'. I paid for a year's worth and it worked out to about $8/month. I "grocery shop" online at 2 a.m. and can have it delivered to the front porch usually the next day. Totally worth it, especially with gas prices. Even better than their pickup service since now I don't even have to drive.

Or try Instacart. I've used them with Aldi a few times with good success.

Babies are horrible at following directions.
Agreed. Need more babies.
Yeah, labor shortage will tend to do that.

And yet you find yourself parked under a tree, people watching, waiting to be one of those psychos rushing in after the red door rolls up.
JCPeeney opens at 11 and closes at 7.

Before pandemic, they opened at 9 and closed at 9

Most of the Sam's Clubs around here close at, like, 8:30 p.m. We found that out the hard way a few years ago. Now we check, and even sometimes *call* just to be sure.

Went there last week at like 9:15 and was perplexed by the open time myself
