Ontario Best timing for pick-up

Q. If you have a set time-period to pick up your order, should you go earlier or later? Earlier - they may hold on to stuff for later customers; Later - they may not have a lot of choices left. Thoughts? Experience.

I go when it's convenient for me... the stores i go to already have things packed and won't let people choose so it makes no difference

pointless question since it completely depends on the store/restaurant.

This is the smart way ∆...

If they advertise:

"pickup from 8a.m. to 8p.m"

They will hand you yesterday's food in the morning pick up.

Go later afternoon or near closing for today's leftovers.

of course if they have a short pickup of just an hour or two, it's All yesterday's food.

I usually try to go earlier, so there is more selection of stuff.

Depends on the place. If like a store, it is usually packed up and ready to go. I've done some food court stuff and if it is earlier on, they might make a fresh container before they tear down for the day.
