Reasonably low quality article based on small sample poll by a supermarket chain, but I guess it sparks debate.

Annecdotally I haven't seen any more delvieries to my street than pre-covid, however we moved from 2 deliveries a week of about £75 to one of £150 with covid (Ocado guarenteed one weekly delivery)

I don't understand why people would want to waste time going to a supermarket. It's like people who go to shops to buy commodity things rather than just buying online.

I had this realization about 10 years ago when I had to do a shop in an unfamiliar London supermarket on a Saturday. In that circumstance I'm basically doing their warehousing for them with no knowledge of their layout at the same time as 100s of other people all moving in their own inefficient patterns around the space. This is pretty stupid.
