'Bodegas are facing the ultimate threat from these 15-minute delivery apps,” says Christopher Marte, the new City Council member for the Lower East Side.
Gothamist spoke to a delivery driver, who asked to remain anonymous because he wasn’t authorized to speak by the company for which he’s an independent contractor. The driver is a native New Yorker who’s been working for delivery companies for the past six years. He owns his own bike and said he loves being able to ride around the city all day.
The driver estimates he makes around $600 a day, working shifts as long as 14 hours, even though he’s not obligated to. He said the money is too good to pass up and sometimes he even sleeps in his car so he can easily get back to the hub to make more deliveries. “I don’t deliver to anyone from the neighborhood, really. These are hungover young people looking for pedialyte, snacks, and toilet paper. They really would be shopping at one of the bigger grocery stores, anyway,” he said.
Dylan Carrillo opened his grocery bag to show off some Monster Energy drinks, chips, and a container of ham he had just purchased. He lives right above the GoPuff hub, but says he goes to this bodega everyday. He estimates he gets half of his groceries at the bodega, and the other half at the nearby Trader Joe’s or Target.
