There is a Starbucks directly below her building. And while it’s no news that New Yorkers pay a premium for convenience - taxis, same day dry-cleaning, and on-the-go meals - none of the Post’s interview subjects seemed willing to change their behavior when confronted by the gravity of their own addiction to laziness.Īccording to one delivery enthusiast interviewed by the Post, he “has never used his kitchen in the three years he’s lived in his apartment,” and “says he’s too busy to cook - or to personally track down his next meal.” Additionally, one of the apps mentioned in the piece disclosed that a woman has a Starbucks delivered to her office daily. Each one admitted, or at least partially acknowledged, that he or she spent between $800-$1,800 a month for their catered meals. The Post interviewed a handful of delivery app patrons deserving of equal admonishment. That is a lot of money.īut Ruby isn’t the only one. I needn’t keep reminding you of the tangible equivalency of $11,000 because your jaw has most certainly dropped of its own accord. For that amount of money you could travel to Ecuador or see Europe by boat. That figure is, as the Post points out, “enough for 98 unlimited MetroCards or 4,720 slices of pizza.” That’s also rent for a year in a reasonably priced Brooklyn apartment in a neighborhood of your choosing. And the face of the city's easy delivery obsession, reported by the NY Post, is definitely Wall Street-dwelling Kris Ruby who spends an estimated $11,000 a year on Seamless (namely sushi and “superfood salads,” if you must know). Any New Yorker can tell you tales of New York City's Seamless epidemic.
