Here’s how the script works, according to Slot Finder’s GitHub page: Once there, you run the Slot Finder script. Then you have to go through the whole checkout process and stop once you get to the delivery options. Once you download and run the Slot Finder, you have to visit Amazon/Whole Foods in the Safari browser. It’s a JavaScript tool that you have to download from GitHub, and it only works via Script Editor on a Mac running Safari. Now, before you get too excited, the tool, plainly dubbed Amazon Fresh/Whole Foods Delivery Slot Finder, is not some slick app that you install on your phone. Hertel told CNBC he built the tool out of concern for his parents, who have immune deficiencies. Adrian Hertel built a downloadable program that alerts you when delivery slots in Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods open up. CNBC reports on a new tool you can run on your computer to make finding a delivery window a little bit easier. The fact that grocers aren’t exactly great at alerting you that an item has gone out of stock between the time you order and the time you get your delivery only complicates the problem. This a problem for people who really shouldn’t go to the grocery store (think: elderly parents, or the immunocompromised) or those who can’t get there because of essential work or family. Once you’ve placed your order, it can be one if not two weeks before a delivery window opens up. Like a game of whack-a-mole, people who are flocking to e-commerce for their grocery shopping in this time of pandemic are encountering a new headache: longer-than-normal wait times to get their food actually delivered.
