Not to worry, just ask someone else who is already at the store or planning on going shortly to grab it for you via new crowdsourcing grocery shopping service called Milk, Please! The service is currently only available in Italy, but who knows, I could see something like this doing well in somewhere like, say, Brooklyn (see bit on eco-friendliness and carbon footprint).
