- Terribledactyl 9y agoThat's a little disingenuous, they have a minimum order size, and consolidate delivery dates in an area to maximize route efficiency. A fully packed delivery truck in a densely subscribed area would be more efficient in terms of fuel than all of those individuals driving to the store. But yes, minimal customers, in a big area, buying few meals consecutively would be worse.
- chickenfries 9y agoI dont buy that you can assume that delivery saves fuel. You're assuming everyone makes one full round trip from home to the grocery store every week, when most people incorporate it with their other errands, commute, etc.
