That being said, you get to see the Alexa screens installed at every nook and corner of the store, assisting every time you have trouble finding an item. It is funny how one can simply approach Alexa station and ask her- ”where a particular item is” in the entire store!

That's sn extremely engaging account of your experience at a high tech store @ReemaGandhi
Thanks for sharing that.
But then how does the merchandise compare with the one procured through an online order? Is there some subtle difference?

@ReemaGandhi Thanks for sharing your experience, how does this compare to Whole foods? Do you have Whole Foods also in your area?

Very nicely written and informatively describes the whole experience.

Hi @C_T
Well, yes! There’s a slight difference in prices when you order online from Amazon Fresh as opposed to the in-store purchase.
Some items are charged per piece (fresh produce) when you order online however, that’s not the case when you shop in-store.
What do you prefer when it comes to grocery shopping ?
thank you so much for your interest!

Hi @jayasimha78
Oh yes! We do have Whole-foods in our neighborhood & the major difference between the two, as I’ve observed, is the Bulk department, minus the Alexa Station & Dash Cart.
Whole foods has a vast range of organic/non organic dried berries/nuts, grains, granola, flour, beans. I love going to Whole foods for that reason.
Do you prefer going to Whole foods ?

Thanks for the detailed reply @ReemaGandhi
I had heard a statement about Anazon Fresh as "excellent quality at slight premium" and hence wanted to check your experience.
Well, while in the US, we prefer to do most of the purchases in HEB (a marketing chain in Texas). And then, for some specific items like thin stingy chillies, in an Indian grocery store named "Apna Bazar" remains the sole source.

@ReemaGandhi Looks like we don't have Amazon Fresh stores in Northern California, only whole foods as of now. I looked up, looks like there are two stores in Southern CA, 2nd one opened in October 2020.
