Only tangentially related to the article but this made me laugh:

> Harvard Business School professor John Deighton, when asked about the future of the industry in 2001, said, “Home-delivered groceries? Never.”

I wonder what the equivalent will be in another ~20 years.

“Home-delivered groceries? Well, they were a great idea back when everyone had money.”

on the other hand, the big cost factor that would restrict home delivery to people who have money is… human labor costs. Once robot-based delivery is the standard, home delivery may be quite affordable. Maybe even less costly on the whole than operating supermarkets.
