Miramar and Naval Base San Diego to show they really deliver -- groceries, that is
At last, some military commissaries are trying their own version of Instacart. Welcome to the modern world.
The Earls were entitled to shop at the commissary, where they could buy groceries at cost. Instead, with little kids and little time, they found themselves relying on a supermarket near their house because it was easier and more convenient. “We were just trying to solve a problem that existed in our own military community,” Earls says. “We reached out to the commissaries, and they said they were interested.” As it turned out, the U.S. Defense Commissary Agency was formulating a similar e-commerce concept.
There is another benefit — the hiring of military spouses and veterans with military base access to deliver the groceries., currently is soliciting applications for deliverers, or carriers, who will be paid $20 an hour, plus customer tips. Unlike Instacart workers, they don’t actually shop in the store but pick up orders bagged by commissary workers and placed at the curb.
“I have my kids with me all the time,” De Castro explains. “This is an opportunity to make some money and help support my kids so they have the opportunities in life I want to give them.” A couple of her friends also have applied as carriers.
