Webvan brings up old memories and I really thought of it as the future. My neighbors tried it a few times and I can remember it showing up. When I asked my parents to do it they thought I was crazy. Pretty sure cost had something to do with it. I’d still fill up a shopping cart just because.
Webvan failed but if the gig economy was around it could’ve succeeded for a time. These companies need non-employees to make it viable I believe.
Will Uber eats and the like become the next Webvan? Grocery store delivery? Paying someone to shop for you then picking it up?
IMHO, robots will not be picking people up and delivering our groceries in the near future. Your business can’t depend on the weather. Gig economies are not good for the gig seekers long term.
