Local grocery store that delivers?

STILL FULL OF FAIL.

What I need? A nice, neat little shopping cart that collapses like a baby's pram, that I could perhaps sling over my shoulder or something. The one I currently have is a bit unweildy - well more than a bit, plus rubber on one of the tires completely peeled off. I'd want something more sturdy for negotiating streets with traffic. I only trust this one to carry things from the first floor to my current apt.

Local grocery store that delivers? It was not the manager who shopped for me. And although I did get a phone call, two in fact, the first one was to tell me that once again the online store had products posted as on sale or available that were not in the store. The second call didn't tell me what further products had been substituted and I had to prompt for my total. Also my order was packed at about 10:30am but my original delivery time was between 1pm and 2pm. So what were they going to do if I couldn't accept delivery early? Just leave my groceries to sit unrefrigerated?

Two of the major things I was counting on them for, were not available at their stated price; the boneless skinless chicken or the canned pineapple. I ordered enough chicken to get me through the week.

I'll be picking up precisely what I want from Superfresh after therapy on Wed and every Wed from now on.

There is nothing convenient anymore about Santonis' Delivery. (I will be c/ping some of this to the manager)

I may test the waters with Safeway's delivery service when I'm less pissed.

Either way, I'd rather pay a higher price per item to some other store than deal with Santonis' shafting me on my meal plans etc every flipping month. And this is birthday month too! But they were even out of birthday baked confectionery.

OT: Anyone else discovered they can't use tags because iJay won't let them click choose anything from the list?

Just baked a potato. Opened it, and discovered it is NOT the yellow flesh Yukon I ordered. It's a white potato. Yellow flesh are higher in fiber and thus raise my blood sugar less.

Incredible fail on the part of the local delivery service because I was -very- specific on wanting only yellow flesh yukon potatoes.

I will be including this fail into my letter to the manager when I tell him why I will not be buying from his store again.
