You're wasting gas, though, and hurting the environment.
- atq2119 6y agoThis is an incredibly US-biased comment, plus the comment you responded to even spelled out explicitly that they walk to their local restaurants...
- sfj 6y ago> Some have, um, less formal delivery options, and I fall back to just walking over. He only walks to some, not all. And I don't live in the US, so if it's incredibly US biased, I just got lucky, I guess.
- detaro 6y agoYes, to those that don't have delivery options. What makes delivery organized by the restaurant more wasteful than the delivery by someone working for a gig-economy app?
- sfj 6y agoBecause the restaurant can't combine its orders with those of its competitors in one run. Economies of scale.
- michaelmrose 6y agoI believe they said they walk but even so I cannot imagine much difference. If you are concerned the logical thing is to cook your own dinner and burn zero gas.
- sfj 6y agoHe said he sometimes walks. I'm just saying there is a downside that he didn't mention/consider to what he does. What I do doesn't really effect that.
- _jal 6y agoI don't own a car, and use one less that once a month on average. Somewhere around half the folks who bring me food don't use cars to deliver, either. But I'm certain you walk literally everywhere you go, wear only second-hand clothes, avoid buying necessities with packaging or that has to be transported far, don't use disposable paper products, compost everything you can, and so on, right? Because surely only the environmentally saintly would feel entitled to off-topic carp about trivial energy use when they don't know anything about the lifestyle of the person they're trying to call out.
