REWE is a major German grocery store. I'll admit....they do a lot of testing and surprise on revolutionary new concepts.
So the newest one? They are putting up container stations at train stations. You go and order X-amount of groceries (for what you'd consider 1 paper-bag) to be delivered around 4-to-5 PM. So you get off the train...walk over, and here's a locker. You put in your name/pin, and x-door pops open.
You grab your grocery bag and head home.
Cost? Not yet disclosed....I'm guessing around 3 Euro.
Negatives? Well.....its just one single bag (on limit) and you probably don't want anything frozen in the choices. It's probably a low-income job for some gal....just show up around 3 PM to bag twenty-odd bags and carry them over to the station for placement.
Wouldn't shock me if this were a couple of 15-year-old kids doing part-time work after school.
For the person with no time? Yeah...that's the chief selling point....saving you 20 minutes at some grocery for a dozen items.
