Today, my rental car had an automatic rear hatch. That sounded helpful until I used it and it emptied $60 in just-purchased groceries for the week on the parking lot pavement. The jars and jugs weren't ready for the leap. FML

I'm impressed that you only spend $60 on groceries for the week!

$60 ?!? What did you buy, I wish my groceries were inexpensive like that's.

At least it didn't spill in the rental car, right?

I don't get how all the stuff came out of the trunk :/ I've driven with my trunk open and nothing even moved

If your car has a deeper trunk, that wouldn't be an issue. My neighbour has an Equinox. She has to keep that meshy thing in place to prevent items from falling out if it's too close to the edge.

If it's a trunk then it shouldn't be an issue. However on a SUV, wagon, or something along those lines, there isn't any sort of roll up on the bottom to keep things in, they're typically flat.

Why did you drive with your trunk open, #15? Lol.

After a quick search on Google, the conversion has come out from 65€ to $72. About dead on

Cost of living is going to make a difference here as well--food prices vary wildly.

They're neat, but maybe as you were driving, the groceries slid up against the door, & thus avalanched out of your car as it opened... sucks.

Am I the only one confused as to what the automatic rear hatch actually did? It sounds to me as if it merely opened the trunk.

Right. Lol. Too embarrassed to say it.

I'm with you. I would think that an automatic hatch would prevent groceries from ending up on the ground since you could open it when your arms are full. Unless you do something silly like placing your bags on top of the hatch

I think the groceries were leaning on the door and since it was an automatic you couldn't keep it sorta closed while you desperately tried to shove the groceries farther back.

Just another thing to go wrong. Sometimes, automation is just pointless.

Pretty sure that would've happened whether the hatch was automatic or not. A door opening automatically doesn't make bags of groceries jump out of the back of a car.
