It doesn't matter. Everyone made do before Uber Eats. The woman called the police to ask them to patrol the area so she could leave her kids alone to go to the store. Then live-streamed the encounter. Then called every news outlet to continue to seek attention.
Actually, it does matter if people are trying to say she could have used this as an option.
I agree that it looks like an attention-seeking thing, but I'm personally not interested in getting out the pitchforks. Young, sleep-deprived mothers have done stranger things even back in the good old pioneer days.
Ironically, had she lacked transportation and/or money for formula, that baby would be in a foster home. But a rich white woman can have police do errands for her.
Do they have Uber Eats in Alpine, Utah? The population there is less than 10K.
It's not a tiny little town. It's a suburb of Salt Lake City, so it's not remote at all. Just like in my area there are many small cities that literally all run together and if you don't know the boundaries you don't know when you are going from one to the other. Some are as small as 7,000. My city is 22,000. The next city over is about 200,000. And none of those are even the city of Kansas City. Looks like Alpine, Utah is the same - just a suburb of Salt Lake City. It's not remote. There are two country clubs right next to Alpine. There's a 24 hour Walmart apparently, since the police went there for formula. If the police can go there, so can the mother.

Alpine doesn't seem to be on Uber's list of places that it serves, which was my only point. I'll leave you to wield the pitchforks.
What did pioneer women do when their breast milk dried up in the middle of the night?
Milked the cow tethered right outside their covered wagon?
Whatever they did, I don't think it included brainstorming with their husband. He would have been (1) certain it was the woman's problem, not his; and (2) busy with one of his other wives who didn't have any kids yet.
Not "debating" it. Just saying that Alpine isn't on Uber's list of places that they serve because people keep saying that she should have used it.
No one keeps saying it. It was mentioned and then you started posting why she couldn't use Uber and people responded to your posts. All of which is irrelevant anyway, because she had a car and could have gone to the store herself.
