Was there this level of outrage when Uber puts immigrant cab drivers out of business? or silkroad took food out the mouth of corner drug dealers?

I think it's not that bad of an idea when you subtract the name/logo choice. Should have been branded and positioned better (other name) because some of the ideas within the article were actually solid (official partnerships with retailers)

It's a vending machine that spies on you and tries to put actual bodegas out of business...pretty awful imo

Why would name your company Bodega? Does that mean they're a jack of all trades, and master of none?

SP1 the issue with cabbies were inconsistency in pricing, lack of availability, at certain hours, Uber solved that. Bodegas/corner stores are a staple of my community. The thought of some gentrifier attempting to put them out of business is infuriating.

The name is stupid. It's like naming a fast food chain Peter Lugers.

I got halfway through an article on it after reading this thread and have one big question. If someone has to stock this thing, why not take a few extra steps and deliver it to the customer? That's the way things are going - speeding and optimizing home delivery. Not another mini warehouse. Also the founders are stupid for being overt about putting small stores out of biz.

Blah

But yeah it's definitely just a vending machine powered by an app!

I think the idea will take off the same way Uber and Netflix did. And I'm not being sarcastic

SP1, I think you make a good point. That said, don't you think you have a more personal connection to your local bodega, than a druggist or a cabbie? The bodega owner is a local business owner who you have a fairly regular, personal interaction with. The others, not so much.

if I have an app fueled vending machine that makes getting little things even easier, I'm all for it.

ddb 1 nor is it necessary. Home delivery.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
