Maybe I'm weird about how I shop, but online grocery ordering never made sense to me. If I'm picking out meat and produce for the week, I want to see the dates/ripeness and good deals before I decide what to get, and then plan meals around that. I tried delivery (Kroger) a couple times last year, and it was pretty rough--multiple packages of meat that expired that day, bizarre substitutions (canned green beans instead of frozen spinach), and a bag of completely unrelated stuff that we think belonged to someone else's order. And on top of all that, it cost more; I don't get it.

I suspect that home delivery for a lot of people is a combination of 1.) food is fuel so they don't really care about the details; 2.) Grocery shopping is a pain because of mobility issues, young children, etc. and 3.) They resent spending the time shopping because #1.
