most delivery services you can talk to the shopper and make requests. For instance, when I buy avocados or bananas I like to get one ripe now and the rest unripe. You can ask them to do that

Since the Pandemic, when I wanted to get in and get out , I’m very frustrated that the stores continually change locations of foods. Before the Pandemic, changing locations of items didn’t bother me. Now, it’s so very irritating. As an individual at higher risk, I don’t wish to spend lots of time in the store!

My household of 3 has done practically every grocery shopping "trip" online then curbside pick-up at the store since March 17th. Once we get home we wipe the packaging with disinfectant. We are also shopping for my grandma. Before March we always went in-store to shop. It's a big change but we feel safer and that's what matters.

Prefer to do my own shopping. Shopping online has resulted in old meat that I can't return, safety seal breaches that I can't return, wrong more expensive items substituted for me that I can't return.

Seriously...I consider a trip to the grocery store a day out. I am not interested in delivery, although I understand that it is a welcome solution for many people. I want to pick and choose my own produce and maybe find something I didn't even know I "needed".

I will not forego the joy of shopping in a supermarket and the freedom to pick produce by myself.

I never go to Whole Foods. The name is also a misnomer. They have too many processed foods. They hike the prices too much.

I shop in person. I'm not paying extra for delivery service.

It's true, there is no better experience like knowing and shopping at your local brick and mortar grocery store. Hope they continue to thrive.

I shop at my local farmers market. Outside is safer. Plant a garden. Cook from scratch. Learn to process your own food. Like fermenting, canning, brewing. Use a root cellar and a sun oven. It's way cheaper. And more fun and creative. And fewer chemicals in your food. Anyone can do it. Teach your children to help. It is a good life skill for them.

The UK's grocery market is perhaps even more competitive than the US, hence Wal-Mart's decision to offload Asda, a British grocery chain which it has owned for many years. And its online grocery market is also the most advanced in the world, in the form of Ocado, the world's only pure online supermarket, whose technology has been outsourced to many supermarket groups throughout the world.

I work in a grocery store, and I still remember working 50-60 hours a week. We were busy beyond busy. I have never seen so many empty shelves either

I mean he did not use that n95 mask properly..

I never see refillables as an option as a result of automated grocery shopping. Why send the delivery driver back empty. Better off sending him/her with your empties. We don't need to have a single serve items at the warehouse. There can be custom sizes, refills etc by people who know how to use them.

Are we shopping differently? Well. I am anyway. I used to hit the store on average 5-6x/week. The past few months I've been going 1x/week, and for the past month I've been going once every two weeks. I love it! I love this change. The pandemic has changed many things in my life, and this is a positive one.

My frustration is seeing people hanging out, on the phone, parked in front of the cheese case. Or couples and families together. Shopping for essentials isn't a field trip.

Online shopping is a compromise . Quality and choice are first casualties for convenience . Depending upon the urgency you have to decide .

I tried delivery and I hated it. More work than just going to the store. They text you every 2 minutes that they need a substitution. Then you factor in tip and it almost doubles your bill.

I work at a grocery store and the annoying thing about instacart shoppers is that they will come up to me and show me every freaking thing on their list and ask me to show them where every item is. I am more than happy to show you a few items you’re struggling to find but come on, i’m not doing your job for you. I have my own job to do.

Very simple, grocery shopping is a chore just like doing the dishes so why not automate that time you had to invest or set aside for more important parts of your life like the gym, or school or even family time.

Forever is a very long time.People have short memory

Buy locally produced products made by your neighbors, your community, your country.

In person shopping isn't going away soon. We just need to take a break from it during this thing called a PANDEMIC.

Not true. I still shop in stores. Deliveries are still disgusting!

@@jennyjumpjump exactly I work roughly 60 hours a week, the last I want to do is go shopping inside a store.

Curbside, contactless pickup only works for those who drive.

Then why is Instacart laying off shoppers? Also, if shopping goes fully online, it will make way for other outdoor things or new possibilities or activities for the customer. So smaller stores need to be aware of this.

Notice how they featured GOYA at the end...

All stores should have an outside service area with outdoor pickup, and outdoor seating for eating and sampling at the store. Outside is safer, because UV light disables viruses. Stores should be using UV light to disinfect the items and the air. This virus hangs in the stale indoor air. Far Red UV light in the 222nm wavelength is safe for skin and eyes. It could be used in the bathrooms, over doorways, over countertops.

I would shop at Billy's. Seems like a good guy

I’ve been doing curbside pickup since COVID kicked off. I don’t intend on going back until things get better.

Fascinating. Ihope they do more research to see how stores should operate in any type of tragedy or demise.

A couple links: - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYSDzbWidJDZfps.html - kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4N40cSmadC9ec4.html Basically, supply and packaging issues. Sales are up but you're not going to pay $10 for eggs will you? But if all the farmers who used to sell eggs to restaurants buy the machines & labor to start packing dozen-egg boxes, they'll have to charge substantially more in order to not lose money. However, food is a huge, competitive market so they can't move the price up. So they have to sell at a loss. They're stuck between a rock & a hard place. Pay ~$0 to dump the food, or lose money to get machines & labor to sell the food in stores to individual consumers at prices below-cost. Don't like it? Then make it clear to your grocery store you're willing to starting paying lots more for your groceries.

I thgt the goal of a brick and mortar store was to get customers back into their locations. I do not understand why Kroger has licensed Ocado's technology.

As always, we should strive to find a balance. A blend of both online and offline (brick n mortar) customers exp will be recommended (though not essential) because in the end, AI need people to create itself and have ‘purpose’. However, people don’t need AI to create itself NOR to find purpose. The buying exp has been the same for ages, can’t see why it has to drastically change now. Everything will be back to normal with some people shopping online coz they’re either lazy or too busy (or socially awkward?!) to go to a grocery store and other shopping as they used to pre-pandemic.

It mentioned Ocado here but Ocado actually pretty much failed in this pandemic, they couldn't handle the intake of customers, even on the site. It was the traditional brick and mortar stores that were a lifeline
