Today I Had A Revelation!

Today I had a revelation. I think that everything should come with either a wireless option or, at the very least, a drive through. Heck, why not both? Just think about it. While there is most likely no practical reasoning for this at all, that and this entire article likely qualify as serious cries for exercise. Regardless, I am still willing to bet that there are those among you who would find some of these things nice to have around. Check it out.
A drive through grocery store. Not the most likely thing in the world, you might think, but man, it would be cool. Since we already live in an age where we can order our groceries online thanks to the Internet, I think we should be able to just drive up and have our stuff loaded up for us without even having to get out of our car.
Now, we have one store that I believe does this. The thing is that I am not seeing how I am supposed to express what all I want them to pick up for me! OK, so am I supposed to call my local Haggen store and explain what I want? This is stupid; in the ’90s, there were a handful of non-perishable items that were available through virtual grocery stores online… so we know the technology is there.
I want to see technology take laziness into the next millennium by the seat of its pants! I figure that after we make our order from the comfort of the La-Z-Boy recliner, our grocery order would then be placed into the store’s server. At this point, we hop in the car so that we can pick up some greasy fast food goodness in order to stave off starvation while we go ’shopping,’ or should I say picking up our groceries, instead?
So as we sit there comfortably while the clerks work feverishly to get our goods loaded up into the car, you and your significant other are taking it easy. You know, just tipping back a cup of steaming hot coffee and snarfing down a big ‘ol greasy order of fries and a burger. Then after you get back home, you hire some kid to unload your groceries for a bag of last year’s Halloween candy and a surprisingly puffy carton of chocolate milk you found behind the driver’s seat. Ah yes, life is sweet.
Now for those of you with your faces all contorted in horror, allow me to make something very clear. I am not really this self-centered and lazy. I have absolutely no problem at all with driving to the ATM to pay that kid in cash rather than candy. After all, I am not THAT BAD! ;o)
Let’s get digital!
