    More pandering to those lazy people who can't be arsed to shop in the normal manner.

    Why? Just why?
    Cos it's easy and convenient?

    Seems like there's more work involved than normal online shopping...

    Not really. Normal online shopping you have to be at home when your shopping is being delivered, or arrange for somebody to be there in your stead. This way you can do your shopping online (more than likely from work), and pick it up on the way home...

    Why would I waste my time with inefficient methods of shopping when a much quicker alternative is available? Do you cut the grass with a nail scissors or a lawnmower?

    Tesco in Clarehall have a similar set up.

    I don't see it as lazy, try doing your shopping with three kids hanging out of you and see how you get on. So much easier to order online and then swing by and collect it on the way back from the school run or football/dance class. Don't have to wait around for a delivery driver for two hour slots either

    I've used them in the US.

    I was laughing at them but by the end of the week was complaining to the missus that there were not enough around.

    So long as it cuts employee costs, is automated and manufactured in China all will be fine.


    Nothing to fear.

    So you combine the monotony of online grocery shopping with the hassle of driving to the shop?

    Sounds great.

    The "normal manner" eh?

    - Drive around a packed car park looking for a space and hope some asshat won't have scratched/dented the car while you're inside
    - Spend ages dragging up and down the aisles cause they've moved everything again or the walking dead are in your way shuffling along staring at the same shelf for 2/3 mins
    - Buy shyte you didn't plan to or want (worse if you have kids with you), then spend ages queuing at the checkouts before getting back to the car and spending 20-30 mins getting back out of the place!

    Feck that! Order online, sit back and watch the football on a Saturday and wait for it to be delivered to the kitchen counter!

    Yeh, someone with three kids driving to pick up their groceries is the essence of laziness all right. And as said, more lazy than someone who gets it delivered to their door, despite the whole not leaving the house thing.

    OP, the world really needs more of your ilk, to speak out against this type of atrocity and being asked for your religion/occupation in hospital.
