I’m so fed up with hearing/reading that people are going to ‘grab’ a coffee, sandwich, whatever. Yesterday I was enjoying a programme featuring James Martin’s cooking - until he ‘grabbed’ four ingredients/items in one sentence. Why? What happened to ‘buying’ a coffee or sandwich and ‘taking’ ingredients? I don’t ‘grab’ anything unless I’m trying not to fall over or trying to keep hold of my dog.

Totally agree I was brought up that it was rude to Grab anything.
