This is a terrible attitude. If nobody thought it was nice to be able to get shampoo at 11pm nobody would be ordering it and this wouldn't be a problem. Maybe we "managed" before quick commerce, but that's not an argument against it.
Obviously not everyone wants to live next to a warehouse and that is exactly what 'dark stores' are so I have no issue with France classifying them that way, but quick commerce is progress and there's no point acting like people had it "good enough" before so they shouldn't strive for anything better than what they had. Force the dark stores to adapt to minimize the problems they cause and we can all have the best of both worlds.
- Ekaros 4y agoI for one fully support the 24h hypermarket near me. At the same time I think limiting night time traffic in residential areas might in some cases make sense. If these depots cause substantial issues I think it is reasonable to find them locations or solutions where they don't cause such.
- Timshel 4y agoI believe the question is not just "is it nice to be able to get shampoo at 11pm". But what it entails to operate such a service. I don't like the trend where more and more service jobs barely paid minimum wage are created just for some convenience.
