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 post office looks cheap because they get paid to deliver those 300 pieces of junk per week.
A letter doesn’t cost as much as overpriced food.
It's a service offered in exchange for currency. No one is forcing anyone to request food delivery service over Uber or whatever. It's pure and simple convenience
The other is a state service, which might surprise some but manages quite a lot of citizens private information. Certainly nothing as banal as food
I honesty don’t understand how they are still a service. Who pays for that?
Government vs private.
It's the same with healthcare believe it or not.
Imagine not making new emails to get the new customer discount
And guess which one gets paid more.
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.
One of these is a government service and subsidized.
No disrespect for the delivery people, but these apps need to tone the fuck down.
