      it’s such a fucking baffling concept to me, i don’t even understand ordering groceries from the fucking grocery store, just go there and buy the stuff

      ordering stuff just… isn’t better…
      there’s no benefit unless you simply cannot buy the thing in a nearby store.

        What do you mean there’s no benefit? The entire concept is beneficial, which is why it’s often so goddamn expensive. It’s 100% convenience.

        Nah grocery stores fucking suck. You can go inside and walk around for an hour in the cold, surrounded by people, squinting through the shitty florescent light, searching for a thing they may not have.

        I will sit in my bed, comfortable and unbothered, and have shit sent to me. This is worth $5 - $10 or whatever.

        It used to make sense during the COVID lockdowns, but at least where I live most stores stopped offering that service soon after the pandemic

          grocery stores have offered it here in sweden for years now and i still do not understand the value proposition, like they’re charging like 20 bucks for delivery…

          in what situation is transport of my food worth 20 euro? I’m going to have to go outside every day regardless, why wouldn’t i just bring the food with my on my way home?
          If they charged 5 bucks for it then i would understand, but then it wouldn’t be profitable for them…
