> Some company using it as an excuse to add a junk fee is anecdotal but hardly conclusive. It’s about as much evidence as a hotel saying they didn’t bring me new towels because they care about the environment.
Got it. I show you an example of exactly what you ask for, from one of the most common delivery services in NYC, and you dismiss it as a "junk fee".
I mean my bias is that we started with crippling traffic congestion and not enough money for transit and now we have instantly obvious improvements in congestion and more money for transit. And no visible downsides whatsoever.
You having to pay fifty cents more for FreshDirect is not a persuasive counter argument. Especially since that’s not actually an indirect cost at all.
Your order is quite literally causing more traffic congestion, directly, as the car pulls up in front of your apartment and double parks while some guy hand delivers your yogurt or whatever.

I told you that I don't use FreshDirect. You asked for an example of companies passing through the cost, and I provided one.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.
