DavriellelounaEmployees at Amazon headquarters were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery
For those who haven’t been paying attention, ot appears Amazon is trying to “disrupt” the grocery market. Anecdotally they have been selling shit for crazy low prices and they’ll make like 30 separate trips to your house all on the same day with lined/insulated packing for the perishable items and frozen water bottles (no extra charge to the customer) in each bag to keep the food cool in transit.
It seems like there is no way they can be making money on this process, which tells me they are speedrunning Walmarts strategy of operating at a loss to force other grocers out of the market.
bdonvrJesus that sounds awful.
I’ve had a decent experience with Kroger. They don’t have any stores in my market, just a big warehouse. A Kroger employee on a Kroger refrigerated van delivers it all at once and always on time.
Kroger owns a bunch of other brands. Do you have one of them in your market, and it’s just a branding difference?
No, there are no Kroger brands in my market (Florida) at all. Not anymore, they left decades ago.
They’re using us as a test market for the delivery-only format.
