We were away for the weekend, at Emma’s mam’s. Emma is getting her bridesmaid dress all fixed and fitted up for Katy’s wedding in July. We came home on Sunday evening, ensuring we’d left the Bank Holiday Monday free for a full day spent together as a family.
It wasn’t til bedtime that we’d realised that we’d need to go grocery shopping. The idea of wandering around Morrisons on a Bank Holiday didn’t really appeal, so I reckoned that we could get with the rest of the 21st century and order our shopping online. We’ve done this a few times before, but for some reason the habit never sticks.
By the time we’d got a list together, and found all the items on Tesco’s site, it was nearly half one in the morning. To my amazement, the site offered us a delivery slot between 2 and 4pm that afternoon! The same day! On a bank holiday! Madness.
And, just after 2pm, as promised, the Tescos van drew up with our shopping. That’s pretty damned impressive. Obviously, Tescos has a ready-made logistics and distribution network (eg. its stores all around the country) which makes this feat somewhat easier to manage than a traditional online business, but wouldn’t it be lovely if all big retailers could manage this?
