We need jobs here. Every time I go to our local grocery stores nearly everyone pays their bill with EBT or food stamps. We need Fresh Direct here FOR SURE. I would hope that most here would want to work.<br />I don't experience a lot of noise here from idling trucks. Most of the noise comes from screaming neighbors and honking drivers, and music turned to volume 11. It's ok - all part of living in the city.<br />I like Fresh Direct. I would hope they will deliver here someday. Any business would if the market was there, the drivers were safe and there was demand for the product.<br />I say YES to this proposal.Johnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149362212571632662.post-56463972163586397122010-06-02T23:45:53.381-04:002010-06-02T23:45:53.381-04:00You must bombard Freshdirect with emails everyday ...You must bombard Freshdirect with emails everyday to get them to come to your neighborhood.

NW Bx meter maids will think it's Christmas in July once those trucks start making their deliveries.... and that's no joke. They will literally follow them from delivery to delivery. deliveries or not, the meter maid tactics up here are not delivery friendly and it's not a stretch to think they would target a service like this to help feed their quotas.GAX in the Bronxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679122512214606513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149362212571632662.post-40985409322460714132010-04-22T11:42:51.877-04:002010-04-22T11:42:51.877-04:00Wow.

What a completely assholish and utterly inaccurate summary of my comments in the original thread -- where, by the way, I was the one to raise the idea of writing letters and contacting Fresh Direct directly.<br /><br />In that thread and post you also accused Fresh Direct of not serving your area because they were working with a stereotypical (racist and classist) view of the Bronx. Did the customer service person address this concern, or did it somehow not come up during the conversation?<br /><br />I'm glad I could help you come up with the idea to contact the company and I hope that your initiative is successful.<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149362212571632662.post-48459582655655980732010-04-22T10:06:16.381-04:002010-04-22T10:06:16.381-04:00Thanks for all your research and calls BD!
