Letter: Curbside pickup and delivery should always be available
Al Hartmann | The Salt LakeTribune
Cortlee Crockett delivers selected groceries into the trunk of an online customer at the Smith's grocery store in Saratoga Springs Wednesday June 28.
Smith’s Food & Drug Stores has launched grocery delivery to customers' homes using PigeonShip, a Utah-based delivery service provider. Utilizing Smith’s online grocery ordering service, ClickList, which offers more than 40,000 items from desktop or mobile devices, customers may now also choose home delivery by PigeonShip as an option to curbside store pick up in two test market areas.
For those desperately searching for a silver lining for this virus pandemic, there is one. I am a senior who just had my second knee replacement. The first replacement was seven years ago, and there was no pickup or delivery — the best I could do was get a temporary handicap tag for my car. This time I can get whatever I need either through curbside pickup or a delivery service. I hope these services remain once the virus is under control, as they are of very great help to seniors with limited mobility and energy.
Lucy Jordan, Millcreek
