Yeah, I worked at Meijer when they introduced their curbside pickup. It was a challenge getting that profitable. They had to have extra coolers for meats and other products that needed to be kept cool until the customer arrived.
They ended up just raising prices on all products purchased through Shipt (instacart) or through curbside. Most people don’t notice that a pack of batteries is 5.49 in store versus 5.99 in the app.
Some big ticket items, like Xboxes or other digital items, where customers generally know the price, were not increased. But in general it worked out well and became profitable.
