I dare say you expect a premium for that effort that some poor f ooker down the line will have to physically produce for within a finite economy?

I think the job is difficult - esp at night ,finding somewhere to park, congestion , time limits ,parking fine risks , sometimes bad weather ,difficult customers etc ...and for what reward and thanks ?
So yes, they deserve something extra . It's not a compulsory thing dusty ,you don't have to tip ...but if i'm in a position to pay 3 or 4 quid for the luxury of a delivery van ,then i can afford a pound as a trip . Or, i go to the store myself. Simples |

they are selling their merchandise to the nth degree.
It is the place of the shop who crush all around them, homogenise the high street and break suppliers and workers alike to pay for the effort. |

Most if not all grocery home delivery operations will be losing money. They do it to keep in the game until it does become profitable, or even to keep in the grocery business.
Grocery home delivery used to be the norm, but stopped when labour got too expensive and there wasn't always someone at home as more women worked. The economics hasn't really changed and I suspect it will never be profitable except as a niche, because most people won't be willing to pay the real cost. |

Did it or 6 months between better paid jobs. Impossible to stick to "their" timings which are dependant on everything going precisely to plan and compiled by someone who has no idea nor interest in what really happens. I'd like to suggest that the odd sh@g held me up but alas it never happened.

Everyone is losing money on home delivery, but Amazon loses least, and that's their plan - drive the rest broke.

Having loss leaders are common in business, if it wasn't still of tactical benefit they wouldn't do it, it doesn't change the fact that the pressure is on the worker.
