Supermarket deliveries and collections

Re Click and Collect Overseas Supermarkets. I have downloaded the Intermarché App for Click and Collect in France.  Quite straightforward, very easy to go through the shop adding groceries to shopping trolley. Checking out seems easy with a good range of collection slots available. Having had online supermarket deliveries for the last 15 years I hate supermarket shopping so have decided to go down this route for our French holiday in September (hopefully)

Given the grumbles on here about no slots for British Click and Collect I thought I would show how easy the French system is. 

Just to reassure you how easy the French Click and Collect is I did a dry run on E Leclerc in  a numnber of locations and in all cases was offered a large number of pick up times for  this Wednesday. Looks like as with so may things the French can do this much better than British supermarkets!

Can you actually include the words 'joy', 'enjoyment', 'pleasure', 'experience' etc in the same sentence as shopping 

'Chore' is a more appropriate word where shopping is concerned, it's a necessity that limits time for better things.

I prefer Brit supermarkets, when I ask where an item is the grunt & hand gestures are so much more refined Meth👍🏻😊

We shop here in Eygalieres - unless of course it's Friday when the market rolls into the village. Both are enjoyable. 

Both agree and disagree. Used to like food shopping, still do in smaller shops. One of the enjoyable things about France is the Markets. Even the supermarkets with their superb extensive  fish counters  were interesting to visit. However, the couple of times we have ventured into larger stores here since lockdown there has been no pleasure in it, if you pause to long to ponder, somebody pushes past you to grab something. So since lockdown we have used internet shopping for all the non perishable / heavy / bulky items we can't carry and use the local butcher  and veg shop on a weekly basis. We used them before, preferring them to the supermarket.

They sure are Rocky, I went into the next towns 'Cooplands' yesterday and was met with an upward movement of the head with no words, I guess it was to say "WHAT DO YOU WANT", so refined . I replied with a pointing finger to the so unhealthy 'four for a pound' sausage rolls

Shopping done with contactless and no words spoken.

Just did my shop today. one supermarket on Monday and another on Friday. I have not queued more than once at one of them and I was third in the queue and inside within about 3 mins. I did pop to morrisons for something near start of lockdown and was second in the queue.

Queues may still be happening Friday and Saturday
