The hidden side of the supermarket giants’ quest for profits is an increasingly elaborate system for monitoring and managing shoppers and workers.

Farmers market for the win

I respect this view, but personally don't share it.

I desperately want to see Coleworth have more competition, but I love the convenience they offer. I love direct-to-boot/order online and pick-up ordering. When I am in store, I love Scan & Go, or at least self-checkout.

The fact that even Aldi doesn't offer these conveniences is very disappointing, especially considering small local grocery stores have offered them for half a decade overseas.
