Kroger Starts Grocery Deliveries In Self-Driving Vehicles 04/22/2019

PLEASE ..PLEASE PLEASE tell me WHAT KIND OF ANY ADVANTAGE IS THERE TO

HAVING A "GRO-CART" pull up and deliver groceries??? Stores did this back in the early 1900's up toward the 60's and used vehicles and drivers. Auto makers made "sedan deliveries" to handle the deliveries. What am I missin here??? The previous method provided doorstep convenience for the customer, now you gotta go to the curb, pay six bucks and bring you groceries through the weather. What am I not seeing that this is such a waste of money?? Food City is big where I live, they offer home delivery, and have a refrigerated delivery van that is a rolling billboard. I can't wait for one of these gro-carts to get hijacked and someone takes a crow-bar to the UNMANNED traffic obstacles.

I repeat Kroger : You have to hire extra people to do the shopping and load the gro-carts, and YOU COMPLETELY LOSE THE IMPULSE BUYERS. Millennials don't plan for anything, they will be ordering for one meal at a time, and since they don't know what cash is, they can't connect a value to anything they buy.

The onbly answer to this has to be "Cause we can"?

Soft-bank will be in the Chapter 7/11 books with their investment strategy.
