One day, a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe they’ve installed secret scanners that read our grocery lists as soon as we leave.’ A delivery driver grinned, shaking his head, ‘Nah, I think they just hired someone who knows exactly when each order needs to arrive.’ And so, despite the endless queues, ‘Family Fare’ became known for its magical timing—and no one ever complained again.
