Convenience at cost of lives
The Citizen
|November 24, 2025
Reading that Walmart is entering the South African market with a 60-minute delivery service gives a severe case of déjà moo...that sense of suspecting that you've seen this BS before.
Of course, it's a convenience for the single parent, elderly and even women who may not feel safe to go out at times. But is the 60 minutes really necessary?
Thanks to delivery riders, comedians finally have something more ubiquitous than airline food to discuss. More than that, one can't really give much claim to the good that the 60-minute window does. Does it make it easier to plan?
I guess but guess what, one could plan better and cater for a two-hour window. Surely 30 minutes is more convenient than 60 but somebody with a brain thought, hmmmm that may be too little time in an era before teleportation.
