A lot of Canadian ones are doing "click-and-collect". Either for free, or a small fixed charges that's absolutely worth it.
I especially like it when they have a limit of 10 on some special, so I pick up 10 from my online order, and grab 10 from the store.
Substitutions could use some more logic. Soda often goes out of stock. I don't need 40 bottles, but I'd like a mix of 10 of whichever 4 I like are in stock. That's a lot to ask of their ordering system, so I get 10-40 bottles...

- Scoundreller 4y agotbh, I never tried to find out if the system enforced those limits or not. I'd guess... it varies.
- scruple 4y agoThe Ralphs near me, in SoCal, does. I was tired at the end of a long day of managing 3 sick kids and a sick wife. In my absent mindedness, I had 17 items in the 15 item self check out. I had to get a clerk to come over and authorize it for me.
- Scoundreller 4y agoThat's one thing. Then there's loss-leader sales limited to "2 per customer/family" or some such because they know someone would fill up their cart with it. Of course, if you self-check out and pay cash, they're less likely to spot you with the reduced supervision of self-checkout.
