Oh yeh mate same primary school joke every day kills my soul. Just not the way you think Anything to add or just here to stalk me again with your nursery time humour?
The trouble with Amazon Fresh is they are not currently in the market, in how we currently know the market as Sainsbury's, Tesco etc. It's a new concept, so there is no union and people to protect in Amazons invasive approach. Afterall one of the Union's many tasks is to protect jobs, but when does the consumer take responsibility. I'd say by using Amazon shops, you are condoning what in the long term will be the loss of thousands of jobs - simply because a competition war will break out, and Amazon will have the upperhand, no unions or employees to deal with in the new concept, they will benefit from savings of thousands of salaries, to which the current supermarkets will not be able to compete, thus they will have to go the same way or die, the unions involvement by that time is already too late, the damage is done. Every single one of us is an independent union, be interesting to see whether people over the next decade, will choose saving people's jobs or the convenience that Amazon Fresh will offer.
They'll go with the convenience 100% Am I right in saying that any group of workers can form a union? This goes back to my last post though, why can't Amazon do it the right way, create jobs, good training, good pay and a truly class service?
Companies like Amazon are not interested in creating jobs, they want to automate everything, humans employee's are an inconvenience. But it's not just Amazon, how do people think their weekly online shop gets picked, humans? No robots, thousands of them, in specially built warehouses. The reason I highlight Amazon Fresh though, is because it is a new concept taking it to a whole new level, and it's only on the starting block. Even with the robot pickers, whether it be food delivery from the major supermarkets or parcel deliveries it creates driver jobs, Amazon Fresh will create nothing for humans, other than it's stores being replenished - at the current status today, it's not such a great problem, but if this evolves on a grander scale, then it will lead to mass unemployment within the lower social classes, with no union to protect them, because they will be the collateral damage as the face of the way we shop moves to another level. Supermarkets will either have to adapt to the Amazon project or move everything to online, although the current system cannot cope with such a move, it could easily be developed with no turning back in the future. Edit: Don't know the answer to your question Luv.
not sure i would but for people where price is important, if it is cheaper then i imagine it will be popular
Forgive me here, but aren't we swapping a checkout person with a delivery driver? Or is this fresh food being delivered by a robot or something?

All stores will need to be replenised. It removes the need for checkout operators and any cash handlers.
Ah, an actual store then! Not sure what the difference is, you still have to go so may as well go to a supermarket.
Sorry I forgot guys this started out as a London project, I wasn't thinking the rest of the country may never of heard of this new concept.
Yeh you said. Earlier Yday The day before Boring, @brb ban blue from my thread if he don't have anything strike wise to say pls, he's ruining my thread with his drab miserableness.
Probably not, but it's an exteme leap to think this might affect supermarkets long term. It's just change essentially, some might prefer this but plenty will stay as they are. Just like in shopping. Sometime we have our Tesco shop delivered, most of the time she actually goes. Sometimes I buy clothing and products in a shop, most of the time though I shop on line.
