Way off topic Click List

I went to my local Kroger grocery store this morning and noticed a new parking are with 6 spaces marked as "Click List". They were wide spaces just like they have for handicapped customers.
So I had to ask a clerk who they were for. They are for customers that do their grocery shopping on line. The store does the shopping for them and then they use the specially marked parking spaces to come and pick up their groceries.
Would you use this service? I wouldn't. I want to pick out my own vegetables and meat. What happens when the store doesn't have an item on your list. If I'm there, I can get something else instead.
I can also use the exercise.

Typically, they do pick the choicest meats and vegetables for will call customers. I would never do this with a chain, but it has been around since my grandfathers time (1950s) with local mom 'n pop grocers. Back then, you'd just send the kid to the store with cash, and pick up the items. Usually you got personal attention, so they know what you like.
I doubt you'd get that level of service from krogers. Personally I use stores like Krogers for items I can't get from the local mom 'n pop Italian grocer near me or for items the mom 'n pop can't do cheaply enough. For things like dry goods and soaps and other items and don't need top be the utmost quality, I get from the large store. And I get most of my fresh items from the small mom 'n pop where they know me.

Costco because I love the huge perforated ready made packages that I can break apart and store in the freezer. Saves me a ton of time and freezer bags.
I love the ego boost walking around the grocery side and seeing how many women do a double take checking me out. That's always a great feeling and you don't get that shopping online.
For most everything else though I love online since I research everything to find the best at the best price. Love our Amazon prime although starting November 1st they'll start charging 8% sales tax in Alabama.
i like ordering things online, but groceries is something i won't purchase online. i just rather do it the good ol traditional way

Yes, you'd want to check fresh produce or meat yourself but if I'm getting say cereal, box of mashed potatoes, paper towels, trash bags, bag of dog food, pack of water, canned stuff, milk, microwave stuff, prepackaged cheese, etc. - it's awful convenient to just drive up and have them load everything into my truck 10 mins.
