I get this, but there are a few scenarios where grocery delivery is genuinely amazing.

- My parents are determined to age in place in their home. They get tired more easily than they used to, and aren't capable of doing as much. Especially in the winter, grocery delivery is a huge help for them.

- People with disabilities may or may not be capable of going to the store. Even for the ones who are capable, it is a much larger time commitment.

- For parents of young kids, leaving the house isn't just putting on pants. It's checking diapers, getting the kids to wear shoes, and timing the trip so it doesn't interfere with naptime, feedings, etc. This is a temporary phase! It doesn't take long before the kids are big enough to enjoy a trip to the store.

I agree, these are all valid use cases, but you don’t need a tech platform to offer and perform delivery.
