It's not a throwback. "Back in the day" the guys delivering the milk , meat , and fruit carts were the owners of their own/family businesses.
Nowadays, it's low wage /barely surviving workers delivering to upper middle class and up snobs. The current arrangement is entirely disjointed. When I go to Whole Foods, the vast majority of the instacart/whatever delivery service workers are black or Hispanic. Do you think most of the people they're delivering to are black/Hispanic? Same goes for most Amazon delivery workers. Seamless, GrubHub, etc.
I'm far from a liberal but even I think this is entirely ****ed up. The same "progressives* that pretend to care about " people of color" just use the **** out of them to live pampered lives.
What's messed up about it?
Wpukd you prefer these people not be working?
I rarely even use these services but no you don't have to be an upper class snob to use them.
Sounds like you're projecting your crappy job and lifestyle on the rest of us. Sorry to break the news, but many of us lead lives that dont revolve around antidepressants.
I don't take antidepressants, I get paid well enough to eat all organic. Now who is stretching

By your logic we should not have the convenience of running water indoors because it would require hiring a plumber to install or maintain. Or is it okay to create jobs for majority white folks so they're employed and not living off the government?

Firstly, indoor plumbing was created for sanitary and public health reasons.
Secondly, plumbers have and do make a very good living and you don't hear them complaining how they're abused.
The entire app delivery profession is abusive. It's low wage work where the lower class caters to the upper class.

Plenty of black and Hispanic people have food delivered. You are what is wrong with society. Statements like that is what holds people back.

I'm old enough to have grown up with milk actually being delivered. One of my neighbors was a milk deliveryman. He didn't own the dairy. The dairy hired people to deliver milk.
It's not just upper middle class people getting delivery. Is that supposed to be a joke? All types of people have been getting delivery during this pandemic. My friend lives on Social Security and gets her wine delivered to her house. I expect a lot of this will continue after COVID is gone.
