This is something other groceries are already targeting. Where my parents live Wal-Mart has been heavily advertising their grocery pick up features.

Speaking just for myself... I could only use this for "dry goods" type items... canned or boxed food... paper and cleaning products etc... I don't want someone picking my fresh veggies, meats and poultry... etc...

Have you tried Shipt? 

I've used it a handful of times during a trial.  It was convenient, but honestly wasn't my thing.  I've got a friend who swears by it and her shopper 'knows' the nuances of the fruit/meat/veggies that she's expecting.

No...but I am sure there is a niche for these services but I'm not really a niche guy... 8)
