Food
is a basic necessity for every human being in
this
contemporary world. Due to technological advancements, some people prefer to buy
food
online, but others still prefer to procure from supermarkets.
However
, in my opinion, supermarkets are the best source of
food
groceries due to their basic reasons for not only
food
freshness but
also
the availability of varied options when compared to online. In
this
essay, I will discuss both views in detail and provide supporting examples to back up my opinion.
On the one hand, technology has made every individual's life easy by bringing almost everything online.
Therefore
, citizens can order their
food
online and pay using mobile applications by sitting at home.
Furthermore
, enterprises are providing numerous offers to attract citizens to buy
food
using their online applications with coupons and vouchers.
Nevertheless
, there is a drawback of people perceptions. More precisely, every individual would like to see a variety of options and as well as touch and feel the
food
before buying.
For instance
,
although
, online apps like Big Basket and Reliance Digital are offering
this
facility, the adoption percentage of the people using
this
is still in single digit.
Therefore
, online purchase of the
food
items is still a
second
option
for society.
On the other hand
, supermarkets are proved to be the best
option
for citizens to buy groceries because of hygiene. To be more in detail, when a person visits a supermarket, he will be able to see all kinds of varieties through their eyes and feel the freshness of the
food
before buying it.
Moreover
, there is no confusion on the payments, whereas online payments are still having their own issues.
In addition
to that, the exchange of items is
also
easy in the case of supermarkets.
For example
, establishments of supermarkets like Reliance Mart, D-Mart & More has increased by 37% over the recent past years to reach every corner of the cities.
Hence
, buying
food
through supermarkets is still a viable
option
for people because of its ease of doing business.
To conclude, Some people prefer online shopping for groceries, but the majority of people still choose supermarkets as the best
option
. while I agree with the increase in online purchase of
food
, I opine that the supermarkets still hold the sanctity of attracting the people for shopping because of the genuine reason for
food
hygiene.
