Option to pre-order your goods through an app so that everything is bagged by the time you get there.

drive-thru is for morons. who wants to get stuck behind a bottleneck? easier to go inside.

Avoid bottlenecks with an online pre-order mandate. And/or have dedicated parking spots for people who didn't pre-order to wait in while their goods or bagged.

How would that be any more of a problem here than it already is with fast food? Doesn't keep people from spending billions.

Huge amazon warehouses have systems to quickly locate and package items with ~0% error. No reason you can't replicate something that in a small store.

most stores that arent amazon have SPS tech infrastructure, for whatever reason. ever try buying anything on target's website? it's a slow and miserable experience, and just doesnt fucking work.

stores COULD do it. but they dont.

then, why do you need a cvs/walgreens convenience store? why not have amazon set up combined target + grocery store branches all over major cities?

tiny-ass MFH grocery stores are barely bigger than the average cvs/walgreens in middle america. you could easily combine that shit.

I'd rather bolt the drive thru model on to an otherwise pre-existing business model like CVS/Walgreens. What you're talking about would be more of a Phase II, if it made it that far.

the only reason cvs/walgreens stays in business is bc they're open late-night (or 24 hrs). otherwise, you can buy all that shit at target or a grocery store.

if amazon can have a combined target-grocery store combo conveniently located, it's easy to run 24/7 w/ minimal labor costs and it will put the cvs/walgreens out of business.
