And think we should institute a system to consistently pre-plan our purchases?
Ok, your opinion noted. Certainly, yes, I knew I was going to want whole Szechuan pepper, could have visited our kids in the city sooner, would have learned earlier that for some strange reason the pan-Asian markets in their area were out of whole peppers, and could have thus gone home and ordered it farther in advance of when I'd want it. Or just set the recipe aside for later.
We could order a lot of things earlier or at least be willing to wait longer. We've aged past most instant-gratification needs and are only occasionally significantly inconvenienced if next-day delivery isn't, like yesterday when the pressure valve for our well pump signaled it's about to go out.
But I'm not sure how we'd arrange for longer delivery periods. Or, frankly, how that would help warehouse workers, who'd simply be rushing to fill orders scheduled for their current day on a longer backlog. Seems to me their problem isn't that they're filling our order today instead of next Friday, but low pay and employer exploitation and abuse.
Have a nice evening.
