Well one is a service and one is a business so...
Post takes days, weeks, even months. Food delivery is minutes, and point-to-point.
One of these is a government service and subsidized.
Government vs private.
It's the same with healthcare believe it or not.
USPS is the most underappreciated thing in the world. In the shittiest areas I've ever lived it's still been fairly reliable. In a nice area, forget about it, perfect.
the economic ignorance in this thread is astounding
USPS should not focus on profitability and fuck Uber and the gig economy.
Sometimes, people really want their taco order to ride on its own private taxi.
the postal system is significantly more efficient
Look at that money on the table! Of course we should privatize the USPS!
(/s of course)
One is not designed to generate profit. Nor should it be for that exact reason.
Don't worry, they are already trying to get rid of the USPS so we can be charged ridiculous amounts for mail delivery.
I don't care if my mail is still warm when they put it in my mailbox.
Er do people actually pay that high of fees for Uber eats? Maybe in NYC or something? I don't really use it if I can help it but I've never seen fees that high. Edit: although I will note that many of my experiences with GrubHub/doordash/Uber eats end with me looking at the fees, saying "yeah that's way too much", and closing the browser tab.
A letter doesn’t cost as much as overpriced food.
Cooking, the lost art.
One is an essential service paid for mostly by the government, another is a profit-focused, privately owned company used to enrich the owners and pay the minimum amount to employees.
No disrespect for the delivery people, but these apps need to tone the fuck down.
And guess which one gets paid more.
The post office looks cheap because they get paid to deliver those 300 pieces of junk per week.
Imagine not making new emails to get the new customer discount
