And adding new routes takes a while.
As for the old "wouldn't you lose your jobs?" No.. We gain and lose accounts all the time. I mean, does one really have to order their food online? How about diapers and pet foods?
As for the loft delivery, we are supposed to get it to your door. Period. Third floor delivery of heavy items must be dealt with. Unfortunate for us, but those are the breaks. I wouldn't ask anyone to do that. The barn loft delivery? No way. In the first place, we do not have the time..
These drivers are human beings that have families that they like to see from time to time, not worker ants in an ant colony that live only to serve others..
Again I say, come try it out for yourselves, I dare you!
