yeah we know pre-civil war tony never has his shit together and rhodey, pepper, happy, and jarvis are holding like 80% of his life together but also he's the kind of person that calls his friends at 3am like "hey I'm at walmart do you guys need anything"
happy: is that code for something? are you safe? should I call the police? wh-
tony: happy. I am fine. I am having the time of my life. do you want me to get lucky charms for you or not.
happy: ...if you wouldn't mind, yeah
tony: wouldn't mind?? happy I would die for you

rhodey, used to this: yeah man, thanks, I need some eggs and sugar
tony: copy that, babycakes
--
pepper, who has been working for tony for maybe three months: did you wake me up to ask me if I need groceries
tony: okay in my defense I had no idea it was this late. now you're like, running my life and I want to show my thanks, is there anything-
pepper: give me a raise
tony: done. now-
pepper: I didn't mean actually-
tony: no, I know, but you're the only PA I've had for this long and you deserve it. now what can I get you
pepper:
tony:
pepper: I'm texting you my grocery list
tony: thank you very much
I love this so much, cause yes Tony so would be that person.
But it's also personal for Tony Stark a billionaire to be doing his own and for the ones he cares about shopping. Plus you just know that after a while he would just keep track of what they need.
And not even with Friday. He'd probably just remember things like Pepper normally takes this long to finish shampoo, or Happy just had two days off and he likes to eat a extra bowl of cereal while watching his shows so I'll just pick him up a box.
Rhodey isn't going be on the road for a bit better stock up his fridge since he likes to do his own cooking when he's at home.
I just love him going out of his way to do something he could easily pay someone to do, because he so would.
Side note: After learning a bit about pricing of things I feel like he would get angry when prices were raised.
Tony: They raised the price of milk by 14 cents!!!
Rhodey: Tones you are a literal BILLIONAIRE!!!
Tony: This isn't about me it's about the people who weren't billionaires!
Rhodey: well it's not like you complaining will do anything about the prices.
Tony: ........
Rhodey: ... Tony?
-Tony's phone ring-
Tony: .........
Rhodey: are you going answer that?
-Tony picks up phone-
Pepper on the phone: WHY DID YOU BUY WALMART!!??
