My household would really like it if Amazon foods merely provide the same list we bought form last time to adjust for this delivery — we absolutely hate having to start from scratch every time (and that's not even mentioning their issues with substitution). Heck, the local wine & beer outlet lets me just open up the last purchase list and buy that again (and adjust the quantities if desired). WTF is wrong when a local store can get it so right, yet Amazon, with it's emphasis on "always be hungry like a startup", so totally forks it up?

Substitution was the real issue I had with online grocery delivery when I last used it 15 years ago. Things would get substituted that I didn't really think were equivalent and essential ingredients for some meal would be left off the order. It was "OK" at the time; I was on crutches and could go to the store but not easily do a full grocery shopping. But I haven't done online grocery since.

  15 years is a long time in tech

    From what I hear from people, "tech" doesn't really solve the substitution or out of stock problem. I also mostly would just as soon go to the store.
