I have been using grocery pickup since covid started and it’s amazing. Can usually schedule same day and I notify them when I am on my way so the wait is never more than like a minute and I never have to go into the store. I help them load the groceries and slip them tips when they will take them. makes my life so much easier. Also i tend to stay on budget better and get better deals shopping from the app in bed than i do walking the store where i always underestimate price totals and get distracted by shiny things i didn’t intend to buy.
That last part is a HUGE part of why they generate revenue. There’s an entire industry based around what goes where in a grocery store. Companies fight over getting their stuff at eye level or on end caps to make their products more appealing and likely to get bought. The entire point of sales is to get you to come in and buy more things you didn’t have on your list. (Even online sales)
