Amazon said it would have to relegate all-new online grocery customers to a waitlist starting Monday while working on adding capacity each week. In recent weeks, it increased the number of Whole Foods stores offering grocery pickup to more than 150 locations, up from 80 previously. Amazon offers grocery delivery services Amazon Fresh and Amazon Prime Now from its own warehouses and Whole Foods stores. Amazon said its online grocery order capacity has increased by more than 60% during the outbreak. It also offered higher pay to encourage its warehouse workers to work for its grocery delivery service.
