I looked for stores with senior shopping hours. There were several listed, but none remotely near me. I then went to Ralph's website (I know, they spell it without the apostrophe). It told me that I could pick up my groceries in Indio! That's several hours away! Other Ralph's stores offer pick-up, but not the one near me. I think this must be what DR Ginny described, but the website offers no explanation. (Who proofs this website??)
I, too, find 7 am unfeasible. But for now I'm OK. I just like to know what my options are. I do need to go to Trader Joe's one day, but am dreading it. Ugh!
