So if you're a single mom you now need to get a babysitter to go grocery shopping?

When I was a military brat, my mom would shop at the base PX. Children without military ID were not allowed in the PX unless they stayed in the baby seat in the grocery cart.
Children could get a military ID at age 10.
So up until 10 I sat outside the PX waiting for her to finish shopping.
(Getting the ID was great, we could get on the base by ourselves with them. We'd ride our bikes out to the Air Force base and hang out near the runway, watching the F-104's take off. Seeing (and hearing) a squadron of them lift off was incredible. Sadly, I had to surrender the ID at 21.)

I accompanied my grandfather into a PX and never had that issue - even as a teenager, no military ID.

Maybe the rule was at the discretion of the base commander. Also, I'm talking about the 60's and 70's, things may have changed.

You use Amazon Fresh, Instacart or any other service you choose. However you decide, Amazon will take their cut.
