I guess the difference was that you had a personal relationship with the grocer which you don't have with the supermarket or the scanner on the fridge. And most of those local grocers are long gone.

Hi John,

That might be the next stage in business - along with ISPs struggling for our Internet subscription, the grocery stores will do the same for our "food subscription". :)
