  • We had this in Greece and it was great. Then you could order through the aggregator itself. Then it got its own delivery service that shops could use (still better than all other delivery companies). Then shops were added that don’t have their own site nor a physical shop. Now it’s trying to expand to other countries and there is a subscription that gives you lower delivery fees. It’s still good and most people buy stuff from there but it’s clear it’s trying to become Amazon and I’m afraid most similar centralized services will go this way sooner or later.











  • Similar thoughts definitely exist for other things that are not regularly enforced. There is a well known Facebook group in my city that tracks the location of ticket inspectors in public transport so you can avoid them. And bar owners in neighborhoods warn each other whenever there are checks for underage drinking or smoking inside because these laws are also rarely followed.

    But I agree that if someone said similar things about health inspections it wouldn’t sit well with people. And it’s weird that something as dangerous as speeding or running red lights is not considered as important but rather as a minor thing.
