I don't get how this is a major issue.
Most UK supermarkets have an online delivery service (even Iceland!) You pick a delivery slot for a certain price (off peak is cheaper) and then choose what you want.
They have store assistants with specific trolleys with plastic boxes for each order and fill up as they walk around the store. Boxes get loaded to a specially designed truck and delivered in the time slot.

- fredoralive 8y agoThis appears to be more about general merchandise rather than groceries, I think the nearest comparison would be Argos's Fast Track delivery option where they seem (never used it myself) to have someone drive over from the nearest store rather than have a central warehouse. Not sure how Argos pays the drivers in their case.
- deadbunny 8y agoHaha, that link reminds me of a substitution I got one time. Frozen garlic cubes were replaced with frozen mixed veg. I thought it was a little odd at the time till the next time I was in the store and noticed the frozen garlic cubes were right next to the frozen mixed veg. So rather than apply logic and grab some other type of easy garlic they just grabbed the thing next to it. I actually facepalmed.
