Internet grocery shopping! What do you think?

[shokin]

And if you simply don't like the product (which is even of good quality) ?

Read your question again, Shokin, I'm asking you. Does it sound anywhere near sensibility? Can you blame on people when you buy the products that you don't like even they're in good condition? If you think you can, I have no word to say. No word .

No, I would blame on myself.

But I've more chances to choose a product that I like IN a concrete shop (house) than on the web.

Okay darling, now since we're both on the same page, let's talk about what you're saying above. We're talking about grocery right now, okay. Well, for what I know, people don't just pick any type of food online. They do that in a grocery supermarket to try for new brand, etc.. The reason why is because I believe people are not that oblivious to realize that they can't try things online; therefore, they only choose what they're familiar with. Also, they only buy what they need in their fridge. Are you with me on this one?
Next, don't forget about pictures and descriptions. They're pretty much in details to let you know what the products are supposed to be like. They're doing the best they can to inform to you about the products. If you read them, have doubts, but still wanna try and then get disappointed later, I don't think you can blame on them. If you're suspicious about what you're buying, don't buy it. Internet services are mostly for convenience and maybe price, but not for something like you're asking for above. Human contact, conversation, blah blah blah, forget about all that stuff when you deal with stuff online. Things in life are not only black and white, there's a gray shade in between, and sometimes we stand in that gray shade once in awhile in our lives, I must remind you.

I think that internet shopping would benefit people that are homebound and have to rely on others (sick or elderly).

Pictures are often different from the reality, do you know ?

So I have to conclude that for you human contact has no importance, is useless ?

I think so, too.

[MissLT]

Ok Shokin, I'm not gonna debate with you anymore in this topic since this is useless, okay. I do not wanna be rude, but your questions do seem to me that you just like to question even though sometimes they sound ridiculous. Whatever. I'll pass.

Simply I am not "laxist".

I agree. Sick, elderly or disabled people can benefit. I have friends who are blind. Unless someone else gives them a ride to the store, they sometimes just cannot go. If its close, they are able to go on their own and just walk but not every store is around the corner or the same city
So I asked them and they say that it is good to have the option to shop online. This may not be a priority and people prefer to go on their own and see first hand, but it is a possibility for those who need it.

Are you sure? Or you have it confused like you have with "price" and "value" that they can't be interchangeable under whatsoever phrases .

[shokin]

Difference between price and value sounds you ridiculous ?

What I did not appreciate at all from you is the :

Human contact, conversation, blah blah blah, forget about all that stuff when you deal with stuff online.
