Mr K lived just around the corner from Waitrose in West Ealing, yet he couldn't do his shopping himself as he suffered from lung disease. Even standing for a time needed to peel and chop a butternut squash was too much for him.

A GymBuster arrived at Mr K's at lunchtime.

'Did you walk here or drive?' asked Mr K.

'I ran' GymBuster replied.

'Oh gosh, you must be fit then!

GymBusters shy away from paid indoor gyms and from taking rewards for their services. Our GymBuster collected Mr K's neat shopping list and cash, then ran to Waitrose. It was a big temptation for that GymBuster to roam in an unfamiliar store with lots of food on display. But the clock was ticking and there were products to be found. A friendly staff member helped locate the shepherd's pie.

Now, a little challenge! Despite having plenty of shopping missions under their belt, the GymBuster forgot about self-checkouts being usually kashless. Said GymBuster's name was Kash, so they were refused to be served by the machines and had to go to a human-operated till. Lucky Kash! That's an opportunity to have a brief chat with a real person. But... the queue!

Ten minutes later the grateful Mr K had his groceries, and the GymBuster had their lunch in a bag. That's a pretty efficient use of the lunch hour! Oh, and on the way back, the GymBuster met another of their kind coming from their lunchtime job. Yes, there are more of us in Ealing, so...
