I think it's great. I want to shop for groceries when I want to, not when I can -- meaning, I can do my food shopping and go directly to a meeting, lunch, drinks, whatever -- without carrying the groceries with me. Living in NYC, many food stores offer this service and I've always found it super helpful. Cannot imaging trying to hail a cab with a dozen Whole Foods bags on me. Would be odd if I tried...

@IntoSkincare, fellow New Yorker here and I too find it to be a great idea.

Well, Amazon is really doing it's best to be a one stop shop for just about anything a person could need.

They now, have supermarkets in some locals where you just walk through, pick what you need and scan it with a card and leave.  It's delivered to you.

Now, they have Amazon Restaurants in "certain markets" like larger metropolitan areas for all kinds of food to order in and enjoy with delivery in an hour.

Amazon wants to be all you need........

I'm confused- maybe I am misunderstanding. If you are already in the store picking out what you need and scanning it, why not just take it home yourself at that time? What a waste of time and resources. Odd.

ITA! As much as I love Amazon, it makes no sense to me at all to physically go to the store, walk through and scan items I want and then leave and wait for them to be delivered.

@jaxs mom, this is an excellent "help" when you need to buy more than one item.  You know, like actually shop for food.  This is likely not practical for things you can just walk out the door with. 

Finally, it is much more beneficial for city dwellers who live in high rises and such.  I can think of many other scenarios where this would be beneficial.  Perspective.....

Good idea for those who work or have an appointment and aren't going home right away  don't want groceries sitting in the car.

I heard earlier today they also want to sell cars.

Not so sure I like the monolithic thing amazon is becoming.

With the inclusion of welfare/social services recipients in Prime and selling everything from groceries to (possibly in the future) cars, they may become the only choice people will have.

Maybe not in our lifetimes, and only if they don't implode along the way.
