The really impressive thing about ordering groceries online is that they actually provide multiple ways to never receive what you asked for:
- The web site shopping cart can just decide to remove things silently when they go out of stock. (Dear Amazon: This is the stupidest imaginable thing you could do, please stop it!)
- The delivery person can miss a bag (and of course it’s the one containing something you really wanted, like milk).
- Someone can steal things off your porch.
- The shopper can come up with something completely unreasonable as a replacement; or they just misunderstand the order (e.g. pick a weird size or different item). I once ordered a single tomato to have nice slices for hamburgers, and I swear they found the tiniest tomato I have ever seen (I thought it was a grape).
Having said this, especially in a pandemic, it’s all been pretty reliable but still frustrating at times. A long way to go, yet.
