Share your tales of a work-a-round that you can use?

My mom sent me a picture of a gift card. It works for delivery but not in store without the physical card.

So I called the customer service, and we worked out a plan.

I will take a taxi to the store. Fill a shopping cart. Call the store that I am in. Place an order and mention that I already got everything In a cart. Call the taxi, and speed home before the groceries arrive. Wait until it arrives. Then receive the order paid for on the phone. Then completed.

Tell us your absurd workaround?

Humor and serious answers welcome.
