Since I have to go to the super market for fresh food, adding 30 seconds to get paper towels doesn't make much of a difference.

- vidarh 8y agoThis, I guess, outlines a domino effect. I don't go to the supermarket for fresh food. It gets delivered to me by the supermarket, and if I can't be bothered to pick for myself, they'll deliver a selection based on my usual shopping pattern, and I know roughly what they'll deliver by default so e.g last week I didn't even open the app to check what they'd added to my order. I couldn't imagine having to go to the shops every week.
- bhandziuk 8y agoI don't really get how this can work. Like I wanted to try those udon noodles that are next to the ones I normally buy this week. How do I tell that to Amazon? Or I didn't really like the kimchi last time so I wanted to try something new but instead of cabbage kimchi I bought radish kimchi because it was next on the shelf. But I wouldn't have known to search for that. Or the big avocados look better than the small ones. I'll get two of those instead of 3 of the large ones. Do you still have this kind of product discovery with Amazon?

- mrguyorama 8y ago>I couldn't imagine having to go to the shops every week. Why? Is it really so arduous to go out in public? To view a selection of products? To select your own produce? I am completely unable to comprehend how running errands is such an exhausting activity. Even when I was my most depressed, the times I would even turn down activities with friends, I still made it to the various stores I needed to live my life.
- garmaine 8y agoCostco is a wholesale market, not a supermarket. Not really a fresh food destination.
- jdeibele 8y agoWent shopping there yesterday. Got salad mixes, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, carrots, cherries, broccoli, oranges, Brussels sprouts, etc. Some stuff I buy elsewhere because the quantities are too large even for 2 adults and 3 teenagers.
- garmaine 8y agoWe clearly have different definitions of "fresh food" if you are including pre-processed bag mixes and boxed vegetables sprayed with preservatives.
