"The supermarkets have changed very little about the way they've done business in the last half-century"

UK supermarkets seem to have made huge changes, online shopping and delivery is really common, self scanning (which I always use), loyalty points used across multiple vendors (e.g. getting points for paying utility bills), "metro" urban stores etc.

While that is all true Amazon Fresh has completely blown that out of the water for me. Though it is only available in Greater London atm.

What are the benefits of Amazon Fresh?

Edit: I'm not doubting that there are some - just wondering how it differentiates itself from other players in this market, particularly when Amazon isn't a brand I associate with product quality.
