I can understand that some medicine deliveries may be necessary in extreme cases or in an emergency, but to get frozen pizza and other groceries in 15 minutes just leads to more chaos on the streets. Accidents, injuries and sometimes deaths makes this a really stupid trend. People, delivery people, should not be risking their lives because we may be dying to get our groceries in 15 minutes.
