Grocery shopping has to be the worst inefficient process there is. Count how many times you handle a can of beans: Shelf-to-cart, cart-to-checkout, checkout-to-bag, bag-to-car, car-to-pantry, pantry-to-shelf, then later shelf-to-kitchen, kitchen-to-recycle.

Have you considered getting the groceries delivered from a real grocery store rather than Uber as per article? I normally get them delivered once or twice a week depending on need and the delivery price is considerably less than my "per hour worth". Also I don't run into things not being available at my local store, I don't buy things on impulse (leading to cleaner living, no crisps etc) and I can arrange for things even at only 30 hours before my chosen time slot.

Yes! Couldn't agree more. Touched on this in a comment a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5039418

So much time wasted.
