My grocery store has offered a pick-up or delivery option ever since COVID. Pick-up actually cost nothing extra. It's been years since we used it so I can't say definitively that it's still free, but the downside wasn't cost: it was the ability to pick the best item. If you let the store choose, you'll get the saddest looking produce every time, and the meat that's set to expire tomorrow.

To each his own.

Does anyone pick the soggy vegetables and near-expired milk? This isn't really a preference--it's the store choosing what's in their best interest instead of your own.

We have our groceries delivered every week (sometimes semi-weekly), and have done since 2018 or so. The people who pick the order work for the store, the people who deliver are gig workers.
The only "selection" complaint I regularly have had is the bananas are nearly always very unripe - like several days from being edible. But then I went to the store myself for several weeks and realized they just never have ripe bananas.
In other words, they're doing as well as I could do if I were shopping it myself.
