So Google should consult you before they take on a new product, just to make sure you're ok with it?

  Well that would be the considerate thing to do.

  While it made me laugh, isn't snark like this often buried here on HN? Just wondering.

  Of course not. I won't have a hard time moving my stuff, although I would have preferred to stay on Google. I was a bit pissed off when I wrote the original comment due to this unexpected twist. Obviously not their fault, but it sucks that the two most viable cloud providers are now both in the fucking retail world. Honestly, I love Google, and just wish they would TRY to focus a bit before branching out into anything and everything. My main gripe is that I don't think they will AT ALL succeed in grocery delivery. It's complicated and requires focus.

Google isn't really in the retail world (well, except for Google Store which sells a limited array of Google-branded devices, Chromebooks, etc.) -- Google Express (the service expanding into fresh grocery delivery here) is a delivery service that partners with retailers like Target, Whole Foods, Raleys/BelAir, Costco, etc., and it has been doing so since 2013 for dry goods.
