alt Hacker NewsIts definitely a luxury service but often luxuries like this really improve quality of life, especially of people who aren't able bodied like elderly or disabled folks. Its helpful to think of them as the customer base in addition to the "tech person with money to burn who doesn't want to hop in their car" we often default to.

I feel like this is way more true of Instacart. Ordering takeout is just not that necessary.
You have to have surplus money to burn to pay outrageous fees for something you could otherwise do for yourself—I know the story you’re selling about disabled geriatrics, but these companies wouldn’t be worth what they are worth if those were the majority of users. This is normie laziness.
