That might work. I envision something close to Ikea (but in a much smaller footprint) where product collection is batched at the end of the store route. In fact, surely they (Ikea) have tossed this idea around. Probably encountered some roadblocks due to the size and weight of some of their furniture offerings. And how about insincere actors who just want to make some heavy furniture fly around the store?

Unclear how the batching section would be any different from just a grocery store. Grocery stores aren’t display heavy like furniture needs to be, and you can’t condense the packaging
