We're moving from an age of consumers going to the good/service and to the good/service going to the consumer. In particular younger generations see delivery as a norm. It's less about being lazy or having high expectations and more a case of it being baked into the culture of younger generations now.
I work for a takewaway / food delivery company and it's facinating listening to what our customers are saying. I heard one parent say that their kids have sometimes ordered ice cream on a delivery platform rather than look to see if there's any in the freezer first. It's quickly becoming the norm to the point where peoples literal first thought is "can I order it?" rather than "can I go and get it?".
- chillwaves 6y agoSounds incredibly wasteful, no matter the economics involved.
- missedthecue 6y agoBecause those parents are bearing the costs of their childrens eating habits, rather than the kids feeling the cost.
- bluehatbrit 6y agoI'm not defending it, it's just the trend I'm seeing.
- 05 6y agoOnce the long promised delivery drones are finally here, it’s actually less wasteful. So the younger generations are just adapting to the yet to come future :)
- wyre 6y agoI think Amazon Prime is a big cause of this mindset. It's become so much easier to order things on Amazon and wait two days than it is to think about going to the store and looking for the item you want.
