Not everyone wants to order online, or indeed can.Or those people could just get it delivered. They’re not limited to the one shop.
Even my friend who orders for me when needed is constantly annoyed by items not being what was ordered.
Substitutions, poor quality , or items unavailable, having to wait in for a delivery.
Just because it works for some, it's not for everyone.
Besides, I'll reiterate, the point I was making, is that the co op is taking advantage of being the only supermarket around for 15 miles, and ripping customers off, by taking advantage of the fact.
Sometimes you just need a couple of things, and don't want to wait 3 or 4 days for things to be delivered.
We have already lost our bank, so need to travel 20 miles to do anything that you need to do face to face.
Buses are almost non existant now, i used to enjoy a trip into town to shop, Imagine loosing the supermarket because nobody shopped there.
It would be a disaster, especially for the elderly, or those without cars.
Life isn't always as simple as " order it online." It's what is causing the decline of bricks and mortar shops, and I think, is a lazy way to do things.
Imagine how difficult it would be to shop if the Internet went down, and you couldn't press a button for your needs!
Pandemonium!
Whatever did we do before online shopping?????
