Is there a chance you could speak to a manager and set up something? You’d be surprised at how cooperative they can be if they know there’s a need. Also, maybe there’s another store near you that offers pick up. If you want to choose your own produce you could do an order of basics and just go in the store for those few items. I hope something works for you. It’s miserable to walk all those steps and load groceries.
