Meyerland Kroger on Post Oak launches today. Charge is $5.99 with no grocery limit. https://abc13.com/technology/kroger-launching-driverless-delivery-robots-in-houston/5193258/ I see the benefit for some people, but grocery stores are a great experience for me.
The South Post Oak store is walking distance from my house, but they won't serve my zip? Doesn't matter, I'd still rather drive to HEB than buy from that crappy Kroger's.
This is all we do. In Chicago almost every store has it. We just once a week put in an order, they drop them off by the front door and we unload. It really saves a lot of time. On occasion they will bring a substitute item but it isn't a big deal.
I'd rather be banging hot bitcches and skydiving or something than buying eggs and milk. To each their own.
Meeting women are one of my main reasons for grocering. A person's basket speaks volumes about said person too.
Too bad you don't do either of those things. For dry good and basics, sure, but I'm not letting minimum wage johnny pick out my veggies and protein.
You're shopping in the wrong store. Friday night, Target, wine and frozen chocolate covered bananas in the basket = jackpot.
Driverless?? We're all about Kroger Clicklist. My wife submits the order and I go pick them up the next day while I'm working from home. If they're out of something, they'll upgrade for the same price. Now they actually text me what they're out of a few hours before pickup, and I can accept or decline the substitute item. I LOATHE shopping, so it's perfect for me. In and out in less than 10 minutes and I don't even have to get out of the car. Also, the fuel points are awesome. I filled up my wife's car on Sunday for $1.49/gallon.
Yes. All I have to do is go online and pick out what items we want from the grocery store and they are delivered to my house within an hour. We have it down to a science at this point. It takes maybe 5-10 minutes to order what we want and then 5 minutes to put the groceries away.
In all honesty, I'm a late adopter. I'll probably keep driving to grocery stores until they get rid of storefronts and make their entire business model around deliveries from the warehouse.
You are probably getting 2+ hours of life back each week for just $5. That's a good buy in our current world if you ask me. 3 weeks annual vacation for the price of $250. I don't get any value or knowledge by going to the store. But I get my life back by not going.
Goodbye cashier jobs lol. I just hope they can somehow use this tech to cut down on grocery store waste, it would be cool if people could do a seasonal buy-in for certain fresh foods which could help with cutting some overproduction and spoilage.
