hey,
Had a similar idea, decided to not go for it.
Here is why:
1) I think one problem could be that due to long queues the price for paying the person, who actually goes shopping rises to an level, where people don´t want pay for it anymore.
2) Aleast in germany(where I live) the big supermarktes already offer such a service. You can choose, whether you want the collected purchase to pick up at the store or be delivered to your door.
Fee for someone collecting your purchase and then picking it up is like 3$.
They have extra checkouts for employees picking, which leads to a disadvantage, if you want to compete with them.
Nevertheless, the situation in your city could be different and worth a try. But keep in mind, wheter you want to compete with big supermarkets in the long run.
Maybe a collaboration with those could be a solution to solve the queue and competition problem.
