I wonder if this will lead to showrooming of groceries, like Amazon's done with books. The only thing preventing this is the wifi requirement, but of course one can already do this with their phone. Though it does make it even easier.

Why was a separate physical device needed for this? It seems like a simple smartphone application would work just as well, if not better as I would assume virtually all of the target audience for this service already have a smartphone.

Opportunity and wait cost is annoying high if you're trying to save a few bucks by going to the supermarket, scanning all the items there, and ordering from Amazon.

If anything I'd imagine rolling into recommended food subscriptions.
