You pick up your groceries. You take them to the checkout counter. You ask for delivery. Instead of bagging your groceries, they get boxed and they put a slip on the box with your address, phone number, etc. You go home without your groceries. The supermarket delivers your groceries. There is a small fee for the service which you pay at the checkout counter. Assuming you have physically visited the store, in what way is that more convenient than taking the stuff home with you? I can get 100 kilograms delivered. That's awkward and painful to carry! Can you really eat 100kg of groceries? My, these cyclists do have big appetites! ;-) Sometimes I have to spread it over two courses... -- Cheers, Euan Gawnsoft: http://www.gawnsoft.co.sr Symbian/Epoc wiki: http://html.dnsalias.net:1122 Smalltalk links (harvested from comp.lang.smalltalk) http://html.dnsalias.net/gawnsoft/smalltalk |
