The whole idea of a large store that you walk through and gather your own things for is strange, unless we’re talking farmers markets. You should just tell someone what you need and they give it to you or deliver. We’ve created a world dependent on cars but not using them intelligently.
That last part is a HUGE part of why they generate revenue. There’s an entire industry based around what goes where in a grocery store. Companies fight over getting their stuff at eye level or on end caps to make their products more appealing and likely to get bought. The entire point of sales is to get you to come in and buy more things you didn’t have on your list. (Even online sales)
Store managed delivery/pickup seems to be growing since the pandemic. I think they discovered that the reduced theft and the ability to sell imperfect produce more than covers the cost of the system.

That’s how it was in the early 1920s.
But I mean, you can do this today. Home delivery or pickup.

I hate using the delivery services though, they can be useless for fresh veg/meat as you can’t properly pick a good cut or the right amount.
The substitutions can be awful too.
This is my biggest problem. Like don’t trust a min wage person to know when a avocado is ripe.
