With robots, humans are to self centered to pick quality produce when shopping for another. That's the fundamental problem that tech cannot solve and why I will never use these services again.

Gig economy is just a really bad stepping stone to the robots replacement

It's a fair point you cannot choose your produce when buying online as you would from a supermarket crate. But that seems to be getting rarer in physical stores as well.

Where I live, most fruits and vegetables come pre-packaged in fixed weight plastic bags - a kilo of potatoes, etc. You can choose the bag you want but not the individual potatoes.
