I think, uh… I think…

That’s understandable but like… you could go to a coffee shop or literally rent office space nearby to where you live - it doesn’t have to be all one way or the other. Anyway, if they truly do enjoy being surrounded by people then I don’t want to knock their totally valid preferences, just to say that there are other ways.

Joe says hi.

(I’m making a joke about how the first names of leaders aren’t as familiar outside of the nation it was targeted at, either that or the USA is saying “hi” to the UK, take your pick ⛏️!:-D)

Aka “can opener” (well technically car opener I suppose:-D)

I hope you get there, but is it alright if I say that I hope you find what you are looking for desperately needing, past/beyond/regardless of that :-)

A lot of that is doable now - like, how many grocery stores are even nearby to someone, so writing a custom bit of code to check the website of each, one by one, and looking for previously manually-identified items could be automated.

One major downside is prioritization of large chain stores at the expense of smaller mom & pop ones that don’t maintain a constant inventory system accessible via the web. Someone could even volunteer their time to build them a database backend, but still they’d have to see the value in actually scanning the items every time or else it would quickly fall behind.
