Covid home tests "not available" for curbside pickup

I was, “you all could mask up and go out once a week to the grocery store! Here I am doing it and you probably don’t want me to.” People without good internet access or time or need to go to person for work are much more likely to not be able to do pick up, possibly because they have to pay cash.
I agree with you 10000% about this. I don’t have any at home tests and hope I won’t need them, but yes I agree there are most likely people hoarding tests they will never use. The few people I have seen posting on social media about having tests have been women with high end exec. level jobs. Why even brag about catching Covid or needing to test for it? I placed my first online grocery order ever two weeks ago at Walmart because that is where I was getting my booster at and I was afraid of the store being a zoo pre Christmas. It honestly wasn’t too bad, but I hear you I couldn’t get a grocery delivery or pick up spot at any store prior to maybe September 2020 (when I moved to a new area), but just masked up and went to the store anyways. I didn’t even need the delivery or pick up time because I was working from home but it felt like a whole FOMO thing or made me feel bad for having to go out and get food. I always went and bought food when I commuted and had even less time at home. I stayed home when I wasn’t feeling great and dealt with my whiny kids who said they had no food in the house (that was bs….it was just didn’t want to eat what was in my house).
