I use Peapod www.peapod.com
And the website is accessible once you get used to it. You need to put in
your zip code to see if they deliver in your area.
And I totally agree about the cutomer service, am going to be more forceful
next time I go, It isn't beneficial if I can't see and they can't read.
One down side so far as far as my experience goes with Pea pod, is I DO NOT
like their produce.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Grocery Store Customer Service
Hello, everyone. I know that this is a weird topic for Bookshare, but I
wonder if anyone else has experienced a dramatic decline in the quality of
help from the courtesy clerks in grocery stores. Where I live, Safeway,
Albertsons, and King Soopers all have begun to hire illiterate people,
developmentally disabled people, and lazy, indifferent high school students
who won't ask department managers to help them when they can't find
something on the grocery list. Actually, the developmentally disabled are
the best of the three groups at present. I hate to ask friends for help
with grocery shopping routinely. Consistently now, I either come home with
things that I don't want or get so tired of explaining to illiterate people
what size of can or box an item should be that I give up shopping before I
have gotten everything on my list. I would think that those expensive bar
code readers would actually take more time in the store and complicate
matters further. Does anyone know of a national user friendly on-line
shopping grocery store that delivers good customer service? I have stopped
going to the grocery store within walking distance from my house, which is a
disappointment to my guide dog and I as this was a pleasant walk. Are there
national volunteer organizations that would provide people to go grocery
shopping with us? I know that there are senior citizens who will do grocery
shopping for people. Although I know that they would be very conscientious,
I would hate to tax their physical strength. I would be interested in your
feedback.
