It is amazing how easily we get used to convenience. The delights of delivery apps are a relatively recent phenomenon, but your average city dweller can barely remember a time when you couldn't get takeout with the tap of a button.
In fact, things have progressed so far that it's no longer just our food cravings that we can satisfy pronto. Earlier this week, a video went viral of a DoorDash driver expressing disbelief over his latest Walmart order. The reason? It was a 55" flat-screen TV. The driver filmed the TV barely fitting in a shopping cart, as he denounced the customer who had placed the order as a "whole hoe".
Many viewers were incredulous at the food ordering company's apparent extension into household goods. However, some pointed out that due to their partnership with Walmart, the customer may have ordered from the store directly and they were using the DoorDash service to fulfil the delivery. Whatever the thought process, the order was probably one of the more nerve-wracking that the driver had experienced. Maybe we don't need those expensive electronics quite as fast as we think we do.
