The idea of the grocer picking items and then delivering reminded me of the corner grocery at the end of the street where I grew up. Mrs. Landers grocery was a small store with a counter across the width of the store. I would hand Mrs. Landers the list given me by my mom and she would disappear into the aisles and come back with my items in a bag.

Nowdays two very different concepts are emerging. Either we have total self service from picking items to self checkout or total service from picking items to delivery. I suppose both will survive but it is surprising to see people again trust someone else to pick out food items for them.
