Internet Grocery Shopping Slowly Gaining Ground
bakreule writes "Online grocery shopping, once the laughing stock of the internet, has quietly started gaining ground. It seemed that the idea had been killed shortly after the bust as being just another bomb. The article has some good interviews and details to show how this industry is developing and whether or not this surprising growth can continue. I'm interested in seeing how grocery product advertising will be affected in this highly competitive industry."
Damn, wrong article. Ignore the above :P
It's better to burn out than to fade away
you apparently don't shop where I do... Cub Foods in Minnesota is *the* worst grocery store chain behind their "rival" Rainbow.
The isles are narrow (and people here like to stand in the middle and look while making it impossible for you to pass, "excuse me" doesn't seem to register).
The brand selections are weak. Wegman's on the East Coast (PA, NY, others) is fantastic for selection. The vegetable isle is terrible. I swear that Cub thinks that fresh produce means stuff that looks like it is wilting.
The store is setup poorly. The isles don't line up forcing you to make strange route changes in order to finish your shopping. Nothing that you would need in a quick stop to the store is where it should be forcing you to walk all the way around to get what you want.
I would much prefer to have someone deliver my food to me. Anything would be better than Cub Food.
Wegman's you listening?
