I m not talking about a sunny trip to the local farmers market for fresh produce and an armload of flowers. The sort of shopping I detest involves dental floss and dog food. Relief from the quotidian It s what the Web is perfectly suited to perform.
Grocery shopping is the perfect example.
You get the same thing week after week, cutting into your leisure time. In fact, compared to shopping for other goods online, grocery shopping online is Web commerce at its finest, streamlining a task that nobody particularly likes. There are currently two online grocery services in the United States. Peapod serves Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Columbus, Ohio, and Austin, Texas. Shoppers Express operates in Phoenix, Dallas, Atlanta, Seattle, Los Angeles and Columbus, Ohio.
