Curbside pickup might be my favorite bit of everyday technology to teach, because folks are so pleasantly surprised by it. You order from your recliner, drive to the store, park in a marked spot, and someone brings it all out and loads your trunk. No cart, no aisles, no hauling, no checkout line. For anyone with a bad back, sore knees, or just a full day, it is a small daily gift. This little book shows you how it works at all the stores. No jargon. No judgment. No rushing.
