We already have this in the UK via Ocardo.
Rather then supermarket employees running around the shop they build automated warehouses specifically optimised for picking/packing efficiency.
I simply don't see the reason for services like Instacart and Amazon fresh to exist... I can already get deliveries picked and dispatched by the super markets themselves. I count 6 different services within 5 miles of my home/office/isolation bunker.
