You're going to get a lot of dirty looks from people when you walk away leaving your poop there. I have the nicest lawn on the block (artificial grass) and at least once a week I get a nasty surprise from a careless dog owner so I'd be skeptical if you told me some pooper as a service app was coming to pick it up later.
- randomgyatwork 10y agoyeah, seems like dangerous idea.
- smt88 10y agoPooper may very well want you (or your neighbors) to be customers as well, instead of just the dog owner. There are neighborhoods in my city that are wealthy enough and have enough public land that I can imagine people using this app on their walks just to have a cleaner neighborhood.

And in the time it takes Pooper to arrive, someone may have already stepped in it, so employing Pooper shouldn't exempt you from getting a fine for the violation. I'm finding it hard to see how such a business could scale up. If you have a car (which you'd probably need to be able to collect poop quickly over a large area), driving for Uber would probably be a more pleasant and better-paying job. How could Pooper compete for all the employees needed to run this labor-intensive business?
