You are too ignorant to grasps the concept. What is mundane is going on my phone and having to type in a list that I already created on paper to scroll through all the options and spend time deciphering where this all is. Or I can walk through a grocery store with my VR headset and get everything I need without all the BS that comes with web grocery shopping. Its easier to see 1,000 items in person vs a page that can only show 10-100 items at a time and consist of hundreds of pages.


I'm not the ignorant one in this situation. Your VR experience sounds good to you because it's a fantasy superior alternative to regular brick-and-mortar grocery shopping, and you find web-based online shopping arduous because you're not very familiar with it. That's why you glossed over all of the points I made above and went straight to calling me ignorant.

When I first tried online grocery ordering, all of my stuff was already neatly in a list based on purchase history and frequency. Even if you took the long way and typed an entire list, you would only need to do that once and it would be saved forever -- are you going to put on a VR headset and browse aisles for everything every time you want to order things? You don't need to look at the entire 1,000 item inventory at once or in 10-100 item pages. You can tap one button and see all of the items you buy and want immediately, in one single list. Right now, today, with current technology, I just tap "Reorder" and there is everything I buy, right there. One spot. Adding a VR headset to this process whenever you want to shop is absurd.

Yeah this isn't new tech lol. There are too many variables for machines to learn when you need something and it be accurate. What if I cook 3 times a week and the next week I cook 10 times? So the next week it will send me the items for x10?


If we're talking automatic grocery shopping, then:

1. Get an alert your periodic grocery list is going to be shipped soon -- you tap it
2. You look at the list and tap the - and + to adjust quantities as needed, tap done
3. Groceries arrive later

During this process you might see "related items" presented to you on the margins of the pages based on the type of items you purchase, making it super easy to grab additional things you might need without having to type a bunch of stuff in.

How is this difficult? How is this a long, drawn out mundane process compared to putting on head gear and virtually walking up and down grocery aisles trying to find where an item is "stocked"?
