Amazon Shutters Prime Pantry, an Early Online Grocery Initiative

By Matt Day
January 7, 2021

"Amazon.com Inc. has shuttered Prime Pantry, a grocery and household essentials delivery service that was one of the retailers early forays into selling food online.

The program closed on Wednesday, an Amazon spokeswoman said, and thousands of products previously available under the Prime Pantry banner were folded into the companys main retail site.

Launched in 2014, Prime Pantry featured a selection of shelf-stable food and snacks, as well as cleaning products, and was designed to get shoppers to stock up on the bulky, often expensive-to-ship products in orders that could fit into a single large box.

Initially the service was offered only to members of the Prime free shipping program, but Amazon added a $5 a month subscription option in 2018. Those who were still paying the monthly fee were notified of the shutdown in December and received refunds, the spokeswoman said

€œAs part of our commitment to delivering the best possible customer experience, we have decided to transfer Amazon Pantry selection to the main Amazon.com store so customers can get everyday household products faster, without an extra subscription or purchase requirement,€� the spokeswoman said in an email.

In addition to shelf-stable food offered on Amazons main retail site, members of the $119-a-year Prime program in many cities can also order fresh food from Amazon Fresh and the companys Whole Foods Market chain..."

Shrug. I drive past the grocery store four times a day on weekdays.
My once-a-week stop is sufficient to keep me in pantry goods.

Then again, I'm not a "dazzling young urbanite" like you.

That was a pretty obscure Blazing Saddles quote, I'll cop to that.

Why not... choice, a medical reason, or cost?
Can you walk to stores, can you pedal a bike?
My mother never drove, she pulled a wire cart up to the Avenue for
shopping... some heavy items she had delivered, like beverages, the
seltza guy delivered siphon bottles, and all flavors of soda.

In fact one could buy all the groceries and dry goods they'd needed
from push carts and horse drawn carts making a steady stream on the
Brooklyn streets; fresh meats, fresh seafood, fresh produce, fresh
eggs, all sorts of clothing, even a shoemaker-cutlery sharpener, all
kinds of dairy, fresh baked goods, could buy anything you could think
of right at your front door... the Chinky laundry even picked up your
soiled clothes and delivered your clothes back in pristine condition
and expertly folded and wrapped. Carts came by with any hardware you
could imagine. To hear Kootchie you'd think he invented electric
vehicals... NYC had electric trolleys, electric busses, and still has
electric trains... and many businesses used electric delivery trucks,
diaper service was a biggie. Electric vehicles are meant for mass
movement, an electric vehicle using OUR ROADS for moving just a single
driver is the most idiotic, selfish, and wasteful conception. Kootchie
has no reason whatsoever to use any vehicle, let the otiose bag of
shit WALK! That slug doesn't go anywhere anyway.

Choice and cost...in 43 years I've never needed a car to commute to work, always took public transport...now I work entirely from home. When the pandemic thing subsides, I'll maybe go two/three days per week to the office, it's a ten - minute Metra train ride away...


> Can you walk to stores, can you pedal a bike?


I have a Whole Foods and a small Target a few walkable blocks away...have not ridden a bike since 1967, and I've no intention of reliving my childhood....all that I need, bank, post office, restos, a nice hardware store, bakery, likker store, bookstore etc. are all mere blocks away.

Now with the pandemic homeless bums swarm the entryways to these stores ['THANK YOU, liberal dumbocratic city government!") , and since in My Ideal Urban Environment I don't like vagrants, I'll avoid that mishegos...


> My mother never drove, she pulled a wire cart up to the Avenue for

I did the cart thing for many years when I lived in a more congested area, not doing that anymore...

People generally annoy me, so in - person grocery shopping is an easy thing to cut out, I order everything I need with a few mouse clicks. I'm never going back to in - person grocery shopping again...i may visit the Target, etc. every few weeks just "out of curiosity", but I really could eschew that...

The less people I have to interact with the more content I am ;-)

I not only have heavy items but most everything delivered by Amazon Fresh/Prime Now...

We should all pitch in and gift K00tchie with a diaper service...about his level, LOL...!!!

Look at it the other way around. The less people have to interact with
Greg Sorrow the more content they are.

When the time comes to head to the store, call a cab or an Uber to drive
you and stock up. Hopefully, you won't have to make another trip for
several weeks.

As far as those vagrants hanging around the front door, complain loudly
and often to the manager.

I can get all the stuff I formerly ordered from Pantry via Fresh...

Oh, no, we CAN'T do that, their FEELINGS might be HURT...

Since they are on "the public way", nothing the stores can do about it...the police will not get involved, either...

Living in a very liberal place, it's like everything is run by social workers...me, I'm all for bringing back vagrancy and panhandling laws, but with the ACLU around, that ain't gonna happen...

I mean if George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are National Heroes, what are they gonna do about ****bums smelling up the landscape...NADA...this is "the new normal"...

No, I am just very "selective" about the company I choose to keep, Graham....

In fact the United Nations is slated to give me a Humanitarian Award this year...fancy THAT...!!!

When we go to Chicago, we drive to the SW suburbs, then use public transportation.
We typically stay out near Willowbrook, drive into the 54th/Cermak Pink line, where
we can find free parking after rush hour, and take the train back to our car after evening
rush hour. It's mostly about visiting the Art Institute. The CTA trains are featured in my
novel, and one chapter is called, *A Pink Line to Burritos*. Maybe you could read my book.

Ian humped winter. Then popeye humped both of them. Then he took
them both to a donkey show and dinner afterwards.

Winter swooned. Ian belched and farted. And they all lived happily
thereafter in da Loo.

It is a shame. I really liked him and looked forward to seeing him
posting.

Oh well, I am starting to get used to him
