Why didn't they just tell them to leave the groceries outside the door?


I mean in this era of SARS CoV-2 everyone is getting things delivered and not answering the door. This was NYC in the '70s. Why would anyone answer the door to a stranger?

Because the plot required it. Otherwise this would have been a 15 minute about having grocery delivered.

I think you just found a plot hole

A gaping plot hole!

To be fair, a error in judgement from a character isn't a plot hole. Therefore, I am taking back my plot hole

All of which are nowhere near as sore as the Kersey girl's hole was after this incident. Everyone recall, one of her gentleman callers said outright "I'm gonna stick you in the ass, bitch!!!"

Back in the 1970's it was very common to have things delivered and in case of groceries sometimes the delivery man would bring them right into your kitchen. Better service = better tips. Even in NYC.

That plot point made me laugh. Going to the supermarket and have your shit delivery to you? that's some first world country shit. Carry your own damn bags! you already went there!
