I hate shopping. Don't know why, but I hate it.
I have my pension, tax and National Insurance deducted from my pay automatically, so why can't they take advantage of modern technology and as a quality employee benefit fill my kitchen full of food once a month? Problem solved.

Not only can you order your groceries on line, but you can re-order what you had last time. Not quite baked, but getting there. [tobythepig, Jan 09 2002, last modified Oct 05 2004]

Surely there must be a website that could take a shopping list and your bank/credit card details and deliver the goods on your list every week. Then you just need to pay someone to write the list. I think this is baked as some kind of executive service where people will do all kinds of shopping and other little jobs for you. |

You might be worried about running out of stuff early, or over-stocking on other products, but either you let them inspect your fridge at regular intervals, or you just over-order and throw out what's left. |
|
| |
There are currently designs to have fridges that have a second, secure access from outside your house. This way you place your order, possibly via an internet connection on the fridge itself and/or by triggering a restocking event by removing the item, and the food is delivered into the fridge while you are at work. Theses fridge would have freezer and refrigerated compartments as well, I believe. |

There have also been similar suggestions to install various locked boxes for houses so postmen and couriers can deliver parcels when everyone is at work. |

The late, great Webvan was created with this ultimate goal in mind. While the company (and its service) existed, you could easily make and store shopping lists, select a half-hour delivery window, pay for the stuff online, and then just sit around and wait for the nice men to show up with your loot. |
|
| |
Ultimately, the service was expected to run automatically. I don't know that the nice men would ever have had access to your home, but I'm sure it could have been arranged. |

A moment of silence, please, for the world we almost managed to create for ourselves ... <sigh> |
