On one occasion, my wife and I ended up wandering around the grocery store with one elderly woman in a wheelchair. With my wife navigating and me picking stuff off the shelves, it was a lot easier for her. From our chat, normally her son would take her shopping but he is/was having health issues. She did not wish to get into online shopping since she lacked trust in the store shopper's ability to pick produce or much of anything else and on her pension, the delivery costs were an unnecessary expense though compared to the cost of getting to/from the store, I'm a bit iffy if there would be much difference.
OTOH, the last time I hit the store, there was a family with a grandparent, 4 adults and 5 children (early teens to 4 year old to my eyes). They stopped and discussed every purchase with enthusiasm like a slowly moving roadblock. It didn't help that their choice of buggy parking was across the aisle for maximum blockage.
