## Scenario Variants
### Lunch-Break Route
- Maximum minutes available:
- One stop that must happen:
- One stop to move to another day:

### Return and Pickup Run
- Return deadline:
- Receipt, label, or QR code:
- Pickup window and confirmation name:

### Grocery Plus Household Trip
- Cold items to buy last:
- Bulky items that change parking or cart choice:
- Substitution rule if an item is missing:

## Skip Rule
- Optional stop to skip first:
- Stop that must happen even if others move:
- Item that should be bought last because it is cold, fragile, or messy:

## Boundary Reminder
- Check live maps, store hours, and pickup windows before leaving.
- Keep the route short enough to finish without rushing.
- Do not buy refrigerated or frozen items early unless you can store them safely.
- Do not add a second neighborhood unless the must-do stop is worth the extra travel time.
