I wonder if Whole Foods, Wegmans or Trader Joe's would be more successful at an experiment like this. I can't imagine anybody working at a Walmart store trusting their employer with schemes like this.
P.S. Their new website homepage doesn't show any prices. It feels kind of dishonest.
- Kalium 8y agoThat's such a good idea that Whole Foods is already doing it. You might know it as Amazon Fresh.
- sxp62000 8y agoWhole Foods employees pick up stuff and deliver it to homes after their shift is over at the store?
- Kalium 8y agoAmazon employees do. And Whole Foods has an Instacart partnership (delivery.wholefoodsmarket.com) from before they were acquired.
- sxp62000 8y agoBut that's not the same as a walmart employee finishing work, and then driving stuff to people's homes. Am I missing something?
- Kalium 8y agoI am admittedly abstracting a little bit, from this very particular program structure to the general problem of retail outlets doing home delivery to regular consumers. I suspect Amazon-owned companies are unlikely experiment with the particular structure Walmart is trying. It feels like Walmart is trying to solve a very particular problem that most other companies might not have.
