In my home the washer dryer and fridge both have internet connectivity. Not my purchases..., never connected them, I was like "ha, yeah, I'm a sucker, i'll hook them up to internet right now".

I would think that a billion-dollar supermarket chain would be staffed by people smarter than me, but I guess not? and that's a low bar

p.s. The fridge model I have just recently "shut down" with an update and a lot of people lost their food... this was reported and well known. So that should have been some kind of heads up for them, no? Sad
