摘要

The walk to Charles Kom-anoff's favorite lunch spot, a patisserie two blocks from his office in Manhattan's Financial District, usually takes a couple of minutes. But on this December afternoon, Komanoff has spotted a truck from the grocery-delivery service FreshDirect. His eyes widen and his steps quicken as he approaches the orange and green refrigerated vehicle. Within seconds, he's peppering the driver-politely but insistently-with questions. What route did you take to get here? How many deliveries do you make per trip? How often do you double-park? Do you leave the engine running?
