[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All our very rich neighbors with the $3M+ homes use grocery delivery services. They get EVERYTHING delivered, including two cups of coffee from Starbucks. It's literally a stream of delivery folks coming and going all day.

Us mere plebes with "only" the original $1.3M homes do our own shopping. We tried to use those grocery delivery services and they all sucked - bad produce, bad substitute items, etc.[/quote]

I wonder if you are my neighbor in CCDC?  There are 3 houses on the block that have a -constant_ stream of delivery drivers, all day, every day. They are the older millennials with kids under 8 y.o.  Meanwhile, we GenX households, who have jobs in the same industries and much more household wealth, get very little delivered comparatively.

I do think it's generational. The slightly younger households began their professional lives ordering DoorDash a lot and taking once-cheap Ubers everywhere in Logan Circle and Navy Yard.  It's almost as if they can't wean themselves. Meanwhile, we 50 somethings did not come of age in the gig driver economy and so were never dependent on it
