It takes less than 15 minutes to do a shopping trip. 4 minutes by bike to get there, 4 minutes back. Time inside the store depends on how much stuff I need but usually not more than a few minutes, including self-checkout.
Maybe you’re right. I’m where I’m at, I drive about 10-12 minutes to get to a nice grocery store with decent prices where the parking lot won’t be sketchy or crowded. But having one on my way as I’m walking to and from somewhere else would be pretty great. Most of the stores like that where I’m at are considered “concenience” stores, and the prices are wildly inflated there, so I never shop there unless I just want a drink or some junk food real quick.
As someone who loves cars and is cool with car culture, I do feel that it should be completely optional, and more walking based infrastructure and public transportation would be nice for everyone.
Shopping daily sounds terribly inefficient. I don’t even want to be at the store once per week, much less every single day.

It’s really minor when you just walk in and grab like… some vegetables for dinner. It’s like a 5-10 minute detour.
