I'm completely flummoxed. I know that FD was aware of the calls for service that people were posting on this blog, on Brownstoner, on Brooklyn 12. I can't figure out why they would ignore parts of a neighborhood that they are already delivering to. Wow. I’m completely flummoxed.

Thanks to Wall Street, Fresh Direct might have less customers in it's "preferred" zip codes anyway. I'm sure there are plenty more bodega shoppers now that massive lay-offs are becoming the norm. I have a few pals that received the "We regret to inform you" notices over the past few months. Karma for the greedy bastards. ~Nina Hi Brian,

I know it's a pain to group order, but if this is what will bring them to the area then some bounding is necessary. but it is odd that you are close to the mynt and your order could be grouped with them. good point changeling, maybe if the collectively FD was direct and said we have X number of people willing to place and order for this much.

The question remains why would they select some blocks (or buildings) over others. We have a right to know why this is the case. As for their delivering where there is a demand, I would like to know how many hungry people constitutes "a demand?" If 2 people on a block are willing to order from them, is that enough, or does it have to be 5 people or 10? In the main post I state that FD delivers to the Mynt, which is in Bed-Stuy.

You know nothing of me, yet you fling insults at me. I made no assumptions about your race, sex, income, education, marital status, home ownership, etc. So why do you feel you need to explain it? Because it is easier to deflect that accept? You have yet to grasp that I don't want race baiters on this site or, for that matter, in my neighborhood. I never said poor people should leave. That is obviously your issue, not mine. I said race baiters should leave. Perhaps that is what bothered you so much. Perhaps you too are a race baiter. Deny it if you like, but you have yet to denounce race baiters on this string. You have also failed to admit that you have ever run a business in the neighborhood and that your opinion of business owners in the neighborhood is something you know anything about. Yet you are ready with an opinion about them and why they behave the way they do. You are eager to assumes things of others, aren't you? Shame there is no basis in facts for your assumptions. As for your involvement in the neighborhood, you weren't even aware of a food co-op in your midst. How invloved can you possibly be if you don't know that about your own neighborhood? (More excuses coming?) You are painfully clueless and psychologically transparent. Stick to the facts and save your personal life drama for another blog.

There is nothing said in anyone's comment about your race, background etc. Everyone is welcome to voice their opinion but if you feel its ok to compare someone to Hitler and then not expect a comment, you are foolish. People like you spew a lot of venom and get defensive when they have lost a valid argument. You have a point to make - make it based on facts not on emotion. streetfaerie ,

Although you could have afforded a place in fort green, clinton hill, or even pricey park slope you choose, here, and it's great you are part of the block association, and are even on the news addressing this FD issue. I bet your old neighbors were sad to see you leave! Nina you are a great person to have in the bed stuy area.
