from 1999 to 2001, in Houston Texas, i would order from Groceryworks.com. it as a nice new startup company (before the buyout and shutdown), with new delivery trucks. In fact, i still occasionally see the nice formerly new trucks they bought when I drive around town, rebaged for whatever company that bought them.
Why did I like it?
1-maximum convenience (groceries were put on my counter by the delivery person)
2-no temptation to buy things i didnt need. i simply bought what I new i was out of.
3-didnt have to deal with the parking lot clusterf**k or shoppers with no courtesy and let's not forget minimum wage help who like big government.
Now i'm married and my wife normally shops at HEB.
I've already read many views. So, /.ers who are still viewing this article, do you think the lack of impulse buys at the long checkout line could have killed it?
Thanks for your feedback
