Substitution was the real issue I had with online grocery delivery when I last used it 15 years ago. Things would get substituted that I didn't really think were equivalent and essential ingredients for some meal would be left off the order.

It was "OK" at the time; I was on crutches and could go to the store but not easily do a full grocery shopping. But I haven't done online grocery since.

15 years is a long time in tech

From what I hear from people, "tech" doesn't really solve the substitution or lack of availability problem.

I also mostly would just as soon go to the store.
