There have been a lot of complaints to the city council about these dark stores. The gig workers hang out outside the store waiting for their orders, causing noise issues. They don't follow traffic rules since they are under immense time pressure. And converting these retail locations to distribution centers takes away from the limited retail space available in the city. I don't find your example compelling, pharmacies already deliver and these stores are not allow to deliver actual medication. The city of Amsterdam also stops people from starting new Nutella stores or souvenir stores because these decrease liveability. This is nothing new in that regard.
