It often is, but for instance, if they’re out of the pills I use to be able to digest lactose, then buying milk and cheese is a waste for me, if they’re out of tortillas then I can make chilli with mostly the same ingredients, but if they’re out of the specific type of beans I need, then I have to rethink my whole purchase order, and stuff like that.
Because they will often say something is unavailable when it absolutely is (like the tomatoes in the post), or will substitute an item that’s no way a legitimate substitution (like frozen peas instead of frozen pizza).
I’ve heard that women have a lot of trouble with getting correct period products.
And not to mention budget breaking substitutions, allergies, taste, lifestyle choices and such. Lots of things usually classified as lazy are originally borne out of accessibility needs.
