I like not going to the store more.

Because tips are important to the income of delivery shoppers, I find that I generally get good produce selections. It might be difficult to transition that particular incentive to robots, but the point is that delivery items don't have to suck.

The only thing I really still pick out by hand every time are beef briskets. Pork shoulders tend to be uniform enough that randomly picking a cryovac works out, but there's a good bit of variation in brisket that makes a difference with the final product, at least when the brisket is prepared with a smoker. YMMV

Wait, you tip to get a good selection of produce to be delivered to you? This is very bizarre to me.

Delivery shoppers wouldn't be able to pick out the good stuff if it's delivered by drone or whatever.
