Store managed delivery/pickup seems to be growing since the pandemic. I think they discovered that the reduced theft and the ability to sell imperfect produce more than covers the cost of the system.
That last part is a HUGE part of why they generate revenue. There’s an entire industry based around what goes where in a grocery store. Companies fight over getting their stuff at eye level or on end caps to make their products more appealing and likely to get bought. The entire point of sales is to get you to come in and buy more things you didn’t have on your list. (Even online sales)
