Is this an American problem that I'm too European to comprehend? If I forget to buy something at the store I literally just walk 4 minutes to the nearest store and buy whatever I forgot. Maybe I'll even pick it up on the back home on my bike for even less of a time penalty.
Haha there are a great many North Americans that live 10+ minutes minimum by car from the nearest grocery store.
I'm a walker (depressingly rare in North America) and my closest shop is about 6 minutes away. I'm considered insane for being willing to walk 40 mins to work
40 minutes is clearly in the range of doable walks, although if it were a commute I'd do it by bike every time which would shorten it down to 10 minutes, probably.
Haha yup, can confirm! It's a commute, I used to ride a bike (half the time), but then the lady moved in and we switched to walking for no real reason. It's about 3km each way but makes for a nice bookend to the workday :)
