PeaPod should have gone after an advertising revenue model :) Maybe they should use their existing technology to offer an ordering system for the vendor's TO the supermarkets. IE, speed the shipments of "Cherios" or "Count Chocula" into the supermarket shelves. Kind of like a just-in-time cereal ordering system. OR, they could be like Dell and assemble the cereal AT THE SUPERMARKET!!!! Like the just-in-time hamburgers that I now buy after that nasty case of EColi I contracted from buying those frozen not-in-time burgers.

That is what I suspect, and eats out a lot, so not so many groceries to begin with. Not ever having lived downtown, I really can't say how tough it is to get groceries, but the people I know don't seem to have much of a complaint. And I would think many of the independent markets have a delivery service anyway. I'm in a first tier 'burb and the local store will pick and deliver for the unbelievably low cost of 2 bucks. Most of the customers are senior shutins, so they may subsidize this service out of compassion.
