You grab your cell and purse (or wallet) and get into the car and start it. You put the car in gear and go pick up some groceries and pay by debit card. You call your spouse on your cell before you leave the store to see if you should get some gas. You load the groceries into the trunk then get back in the car to drive to the gas station where you pay by credit card. You arrive at home and put the groceries away in the fridge, freezer and cupboards.
