Do I need never to be out of fresh milk? Can I survive the 12 hours until the shops open again without it? I guess I can.
(btw, incidentally, I don't use fresh milk...
)
WHen you scan the milk when you put it in your fridge it could also pick up the experation date.
So, I'll have to scan my milk instead of just chucking it into the fridge. AND I'd have to program my fridge not to take into account the items I don't buy regularily. More wasted time.
Plus, some items DON'T go into the fridge... more optical scanners => more money to buy them and more money for power consumption and more money for maintenance. WHY?
I'll tell you what: I don't plan to manage a hotel. I can perfectly read the expiration dates myself and write a shopping list. With a bloody pencil and a bit of old paper.
it would be a free service provided by the supermarket, that way they guarentee your business, and can even arrange a delivery for you, at a conveninet time.
Delivery services don't come for free: the supermarket will make you pay for it, either directly or indirectly (that is, through higher prices). Why? Because TANSTAAFL.
Also, why clutter a perfectly functional machine with superfluous items? It only leads to a shorter MTBF and overall operational life.
