Because of where I live in New York City, I receive lots of coupons to use services like Jokr and Gopuff that promise to deliver groceries to your door in 15 minutes. Usually I have a hard time imagining who wants this, because I'm the sort of person who likes going to the store and has nothing better to do. But then the coupons start to fill me with a kind of moral revulsion and shame; I am forced to recognize myself as the sort of person expected to want to have servants at my beck and call through an app. It's like my zip code has made me complicit.
