Tesco are going to trial a drive-thru supermarket, I don't know if that's a good idea or a blimmin' potential nightmare?

Seems a logical alternative to delivery.

Indeed. It's not as if they're going to let you drive up and down the aisles hehe

It's just a different way of collecting home delivery.

What they need to do is have a proper drive through off-license, where you can just roll up and place your order, Then off they trot to pick the goods and load into the car.

They have a few of these in the US and they work well.

They should branch into travel next.

They could have their own planes and you could have a tesco finest section, where you don't have to sit with the scummers in a similar way that premium economy or business/first works now. The tesco value section could be standing only, or for people on benefits, or something.

Can't see the point myself.

the article keeps saying about it being popular with busy mums with kids.

Kids need to go to bed at night and thus you are there at home anyway, so why not just have the stuff delivered once the kids have gone to bed?
