This is routine in the United States. And pretty much anywhere else with more than one grocery store. Grocery demands are highly informative as to social class; where you buy groceries is one of the first places people will look to judge your status, not the last.

Fine, it happens also in the US, but it’s not a human universal. I don’t know what the posh supermarket (assuming such notion makes any sense) would be in Rome.

You'd send your slave to do your grocery shopping.
