There is a common agreement that it is bad to buy perishable goods online. Whether it’s flowers, food or something like it - bad. Don’t do it and so on. Always curious how FreshDirect makes money…

Well, it ain’t that easy. I had a chance to speak to a guy who sells Russian food. Not just Russian food though - any ethnic food that sells in Russia now. This includes Armenian, Georgian (wines, sauces and dressings, Ukrainian and even Polish stuff (some cookies, I dunno). Point is - you can buy food online and have it delivered. If you’re in Manhattan - that’s one thing, but if you live in Pennsylvania and your kid is in some University of Nebraska - you can still have it sent.

Always amazed me how that food survived the travel, but it turns out - it does. Amazing. I wish I could send something to someone…
