What do you think about online grocery shopping? 
 
I don't trust the employee's that fill the orders to take the time to pick the best produce or ones with the longest expiration dates (milk,bread and meat). 
 
 
 
 

This is the best milk.

I love the free shipping with Prime.

I am laughing so hard....you guys needed to check out the price of the milk.

This is Grade A Tuscan Whole Milk. It in't that cheap stuff found at your local grocery. This stuff is liquidy smooth gold in a jug.

 
We have been using Fresh Direct for years, great service, and often fresher than you can buy in local supermarkets - mind you, this is NYC and I guess it takes a while to distribute items to supermarkets in such a large population base. Fresh Direct are generally a little more expensive than supermarkets, but in NYC it makes a huge difference having this convenience - we just don't have the luxury of time to go grocery shopping, so this is well worth any slight premium on pricing. Quality is always very very high with these guys, and they have ratings (1-5 stars) on which produce is best at the moment, which is very helpful.
 
 

Good reasons for and against them. Problem is I wouldn't trust any of them. Employees aren't paid to pick and choose the best produce, they're paid to package what's in front of them. It would be against the store's bottom line if they paid employees to throw out anything other than the best looking produce. 
 
I walked into Walmart the other day, both the refrigerated iced tea and the diet dr pepper had expiration dates four days away. Target wasn't any better, they had an entire case of Diet DP 2-liters that apparently was stashed someplace and forgotten about because it was two days from expiration. Yet they were sold out on the actual soda isle, go figure. Diet soda starts to taste off a month before that expiration date. I won't even bother getting started about Walmart's produce, I buy mine elsewhere.

Actually I think the reason is the inverse. NYC has the highest population density of any US city so for the quantity they buy the turnover is higher and produce doesn't sit around. Stores always buy too much produce for that area so it never turns over before it gets tossed.
