I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

You're viewing a single thread.
Ok, but like if I pick it up, then I'm driving both to the restaurant and from the restaurant. Is it not more efficient to have 1 person that drives between all houses to drop off food from a single collection point as opposed to all houses using their vehicles to drive both to and from the restaurant?
I mean if it isn't more efficient, then why doesn't everyone pick up their own mail from the post office?
I'm with you here. Delivery this way is unsustainable, but so is going to pick it up yourself. The real answer is bringing the restaurants and housing closer so that there is no need for a vehicle at all
The mail is delivered in batches, house after house, so one trip by the mail delivery driver hits a whole batch of houses.
It would be far less efficient for the mail delivery driver to drive back to the post office between every single house.
Duh?
I think you just restated their point.
I must not have been clear.
A mail delivery person loads up on all the mail they are delivering once, and then they travel from mailbox to mailbox to deliver it.
A food delivery person has to drive back and forth from restaurants to houses over and over, which is much less efficient than mail.
