Also, and here I part company with people who do such things, is that I'm 100% opposed to facilitating the grocery delivery sector in any way whatsoever, so if filtering adds to the time their drivers take and reduces their profits, I'm all for it

Isn't it better for one delivery van to visit to multiple households than have each of those households drive to the supermarket individually though?

Edit: would also add potential to reduce parking spaces at supermarket whilst still serving same number of customers

The problem is you get many different supermarkets delivering on many different days and the vans often come from further away (my Sainsbury's order does not get picked at my local Sainsbury's Superstore). A monopoly would be much more efficient along with limited delivery days.

Kind of like couriers. Amazon, DPD, DHL, Hermes, UPS etc will all visit my street on the same day. It would be better if a single organization did all the houses.

People claim the free market is efficient but it is bullshit at many levels.

Just why hasn't anyone thought of that before?
