Other chains might be trying it without charging yet. Or the orders aren't so high yet. Who knows.

And their pay should come from their employer.

...It is. Via the handling fee. Let's put it this way: If the store hires people whose sole job is to walk up and down the aisles filling orders, the store has to get money to pay those people. The store gets that money by charging people the handling fee.

I expect the subtotal is the actual price of groceries, handling fee is the cost of the employee collecting them, mailing is mailing.

Honestly it's not a small job to go up and down the aisles and collect everything.

Though tipping groceries seems odd.

Yes they do, and their strikes are highly effective for obvious reasons, and no mayor trying to win an election wants that egg on their face.

Reddit green is made of bots?

Hmm that makes sense.

Do you have a forced air furnace? Some of them have a switch to turn the fan on, which would pull in air and push it out the vents (just without the heating).

Can someone explain please?

You only need IT support, which you would be paying for one way or another with MS.

the government has given the go-ahead for the first step towards complete digital sovereignty in the state, with further steps to follow.

The term digital sovereignty is very important here. If a public administration uses proprietary, closed software that can’t be studied or modified, it is very difficult to know what happens to users’ data:

We have no influence on the operating processes of such [proprietary] solutions and the handling of data, including a possible outflow of data to third countries. As a state, we have a great responsibility towards our citizens and companies to ensure that their data is kept safe with us and we must ensure that we are always in control of the IT solutions we use and that we can act independently as a state.

Digital sovereignty seems to be the primary impetus, so this might go far. Saving money is secondary.

I wonder how many problems can be solved with more sleep.
