These responses are really unsettling to me. For how much people complain about Amazon's power and unfair treatment of workers, how it ruins small business, moves money out of rural areas, how shipping price increases are driving inflation, how bad shipping/Amazon is for the environment... it's jolting to see people say they order not only a lightweight but high volume material like toilet paper, but also the majority of their groceries to their homes. Everyone I know shops at WinCo, Fred Meyer, Trader Joes, and the Co-Op. The only thing I've ever considered hitting the 'subscribe and save' button on is a medication for my dog.
- mortehu 5y agoWhy exactly do you think in person shopping is better for the environment? Studies usually come out in favor of delivery. On top of that we live in an apartment building, and a single truck makes deliveries for dozens of, if not a hundred, households (there are 250 units, and multiple trucks arrive each day). Imagine if all of us drove cars to accomplish this instead.

- rsj_hn 5y agoIf all you did with a car was get groceries, it would probably be more economical to just order delivery. Most people use their car for a lot more than that, though.
