I know from my job: Amazon Fresh is addictive. It is probably the worse type of thing to deliver for delivery people. Yet week after week the same people get Fresh. And week after week we all say the same thing. "You lazy (expletive). You don't work. You are retired. How fregging lazy are you!!!!! Get off the couch and go to the store yourselves. "

You sound like a judgmental buffoon. Fresh deliveries can be a huge money and time saver, and a literal sanity saver for a family of 5 with a newborn baby. Look, I can out together a fresh order in about the same anmiunt of town to takes to write up a shopping list. If I avoid ordering from a handful of odd exceptions, it will be cheaper than a trip to the grocery store, and it is guaranteed to not screw up my baby's nap time. Now tell me again why am I a lazy (expletive)? Because it sounds to me like I'm just using the best option available to me.

  I am simply writing the words of the people who deliver the on-line goods. EDIT: My point was that Fresh is addictive. Not the words I hear each day. Amazon Prime is addictive. And Fresh is too. There are some real quality problems Fresh has to solve w.r.t. delivery. They have to match their parcel perfection where virtially never the contents are damaged (their cardboard is outstanding). But those green 'things' simply rip, tear, turn over, and are expected to be reused. Once people start Fresh they seem to keep it going, from what I have seen. Standing in our office each day the conversation is NOT about the convenience whatsoever. I toned down the language, in fact. When a person gets a roll of paper towels or a case of soda or diapers it is the same thing: Or a car seat or a snow blower or dog food (especially dog food) anything that used to be picked up at a store. Nobody says, "Wow, look at this great service we provide our patrons. I am so glad we deliver things they use to buy at Walmart." No way. If you think that you have never been in a delivery job for your entire life. We don't get paid any more to delivery the new on-line goods. Not one cent more. Fresh has some additional requirements that make them a really awful delivery. I would not call you lazy, but 75% or more of my office would. Actually I have never heard one person ever say a positive thing about delivering stuff people can get themselves at a store. If you think your delivery person (USP, USPS, FEDEX Ground) is ambivalent then think again. Perhaps they are pleased there is more business, but they also deserve to earn more for the increase in parcel delivery. I speak from an insiders view. Oh - and no carrier will admit this because it may impact their holiday tip.
