    Questionable whether it’s actually better for the environment as the truck runs every day.

    Albert Heijn makes me think Netherlands, and tall building probably means big city (Amsterdam or maybe Brussels in Belgium…i think AH is big there too) so there’s a good chance it may be a cyclist / cargo bike delivering the food. It flips the American shop-bulk-and-store method on its head.

      I’m in the Randstad, guilty as charged. Not quite Amsterdam though.

      It’s actually an electric microtruck or sometimes a full truck, since a bunch of people order out here and a single truck carries many people’s groceries. The guys usually get a dolly and have a few laps up and down the cargo elevator.

      If I order anything for quick delivery like a pizza, it’s always a cyclist or rarely an electric moped. A car wouldn’t even find a parking spot, much less get through the city in time.
