Back in the 60's when I was a 15 year old I worked in a grocery store.
One of my jobs was putting together the orders called in for delivery.
We chose the produce and the butcher cut the meat. Delivery was a big
portion of the business. We had quite a few regulars and gave them good
service. I doubt a big supermarket could match the personal touch.

When I was 16 I did the deliveries too. Many good tippers.
