> If people want delivery instead of a “grazing” shopping experience, you can’t legislate your way out of that. It isn't as simple as that. People think they want delivery instead of a shopping experience. More specifically, people think they want this because it is being (a) heavily advertised to them, and (b) heavily subsidized to them. The public aren't being given all of the information. Right now, most delivery apps have free or very very low delivery fees because of VC money, with the end-goal being to monopolize the market and jack up the prices when people are either too dependent on these services, or local alternatives stop existing. The average consumer doesn't know this - they just think that this tech company has somehow made it financially feasible to charge someone $5 to get me my groceries/food from halfway across town. It's what Uber did, and most people are annoyed with Uber's current prices (or ambivalent to it, simiilar to how it was with Taxis). Except this is much worse, because Uber just changed how the business was run - delivery apps are changing how we buy and consume things, which would be much harder to recover from.
