Making the Decision

Evaluate Honestly

The Questions:

Reconsider Regularly

Conclusion: Rare Exceptions

Most people benefit from pickup services, but rare exceptions exist: very low-income with tight budgets, truly retired with no time value, people who genuinely enjoy errands, and those already going to that location. Even for these, the calculation often still favors services.

Evaluate honestly, calculate fairly, and make the real choice. Most people who think they don't need services actually do, but exceptions exist and should be respected.
