The second biggest problem with the food delivery apps, is the collossal inefficiency they all encourage.
1 van, 95% empty load area.
Huge waste of fuel/energy/traffic.

Cargobikes are the way
The government has Police stealing & crushing every ebike they can find to raise money for the chancellor.
No thoughts of training and economy contribution.
There are much easier ways to issue fines.

Then before anyone can blink, drivers take up whatever spaces they feel.
This new disability bicycle bay cost around £10,000 to install.
It has already become a vehicle waiting area.
An Eskute EPAC, used by @JustEatUK riders, is evidently not 12mph restricted.
My eBike here is 250w, the Eskute vanishes. No harm, no foul.
People moan about these things being a menace, but each is 1 less car adding to congestion. The laws need updating.

SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS GROCERY EXECUTIVES, BUT I’M DONE.
I just pulled a $4.99 box of cereal off the shelf, brought it to the register, and watched the scanner ring it up as $7.49.
When I told the cashier, she said: "Oh, that’s the digital coupon price. You have to download our store app, create an account, search for the item, and clip the digital coupon before scanning."
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
You inflated the shelf price by 50%, locked the normal price behind an app, and forced me to hand over my personal phone data and email just to pay the actual retail value of a box of food?
Stop hiding basic shelf pricing behind data-harvesting apps.
Bots are a curse for anyone with anything less than cosmic levels of patience.
That payment is a fraudulent @Spotify one, they aware of it, @HalifaxBank refunded the last one.
Close the account!!
Same thing is happening with CV's during the recruitment process everywhere.
AI scans it, tells the recruiter that nobody eligible has applied.
AI needs to be mostly scrapped.

El profesor lo miró y me dijo que el sistema de detección es muy fiable.
Le pregunté qué margen de error tiene. No lo sabía.
Le pregunté quién había validado ese 97 %. Tampoco.
No denuncié a nadie. Presenté la revisión de la calificación por escrito y adjunté el historial.
Se la corrigieron a la semana siguiente.
Lo que me preocupa no es el cero. Es que a mi hija le dijeron delante de la clase que había hecho trampas, y la prueba de que no era así la tenía yo en una pestaña del navegador.
Están usando una máquina para acusar a adolescentes sin saber cómo funciona la máquina.
Shout out to
@EvansCycles - we're in a time where getting essential but unusual bicycle parts, from retailers, is impossible.
Shop staff had a donor bike out for scrap and gave me a spare brake barrel adjuster. FOC.
Quality service.
LOL.
Society at large detests the idea of ebikes that travel beyond 10mph yet this incident is normal.
Nobody demands cars have power restrictions.
Hmm.
This @BusinessInsider @Olo article is suspiciously vague.
Food delivery co's with markups practice very tight margins, unless there is a magic trick, doesn't seem viable 🤷♂️ and, it doesn’t actually innovate what is a very stagnant industry. @abitterjourno
GenZ & Millennials need to publish a list of companies they both boycott due to AI/chatbot use. Maybe then, these lazy and greedy businesses will understand how out of touch their customer service approach is.
Young people actively hate AI.
My two younger daughters are 19 and 18, both at universities - one in the UK the other in Italy. Through them, I happen to know quite a few kids their age.
And ALL OF THEM seem to universally hate AI.
To them it's "something old people invented that we now have to deal with... as if climate change wasnt enough"
AI is cringe. When they introduce me to their friends, they literally say "heyya, meet my dad, he's a software engineer but nonono, NOT IN AI, dont worry, hahah".
They hate it for flooding their social feeds with slop, ruining music, taking phone scams to the next level, also destroying careers & devaluing their hobbies - why become an architect, this skill is about to become worthless? Why learn a musical instrument if session musicians are already obsolete?
The outcome is interesting, though - they're spending less and less time on public social, meeting up IRL, moving their online lives into private group chats with actual verified friends. TikTok and Reels are increasingly cringe-something for old dudes.
Which, I guess, might be a net positive after all...
It is worse, drivers are parking wherever they like. This a disability bicycle parking bay.
Night time use by delivery drivers gas started encouraging daytime use by Ubers
This translates politically too, nobody flinches at spending £10m on an extra lane of road but the suggestion of spending half that on rail improvements activates all the trolls.
Perceived class is crazy.
England doesn’t have a trains problem it has a class problem. There are 3 carriages of nearly empty first class seats running on this train and people stood in the aisles and sitting on the floor in standard. It’s gross, @CrossCountryUK trains, abolish your class system.
