You never know what people are going through and a service like this makes things just a little bit easier to cope with life...

Also, I'm not sure why wanting groceries delivered is 'sad'. Grocery shopping is a chore like anything else, and takes time away from other things that are important in life - spending time with family, working, or riding bikes!
Plenty of people hire others to do chores for them - lawncare, cleaning, home maintenance and improvement, even dog walking. Grocery delivery is a no-brainer for me, since it doesn't cost anything extra, and gives me an additional 5 hours or so each month for other things!
