At least my grocery, maybe most, charge more per item as a hidden fee
You dont get to pick the produce/items and store employees do not give a shit.
You have to remain home for a delivery window instead of start/stopping at exactly your choice of time
.
The hard thing is that every substitute has many tradeoffs and many people are already living their optimized choice of tradeoffs that they can determine for themselves without forcing others to make a suboptimal personal choice in sacrifice for distribute good
A lot of social good choices look like "You sacrifice $1 so that 200 people can have a penny more" It's a tough sell because usually the people paying receive far less than they receive back from social good. Yes its "on average" beneficial, but not to the one who's account is being raided.
- snarf21 4y agoI agree they are all choices and all have trade-offs. I was specifically speaking to the pain point of groceries on mass transit. You still have a "someone's else's schedule" problem on transit because when you want to go may not align with transit. I'd rather hang at home than on a platform with bags and bags of groceries. I'm with you on picking your battles. You have to decide where your pain points are and where your conveniences are.
