Any apartment building that size should have a couple floors of retail, especially food - they would make a fortune. If I lived there I would illegally sell teriyaki or something out of my apartment. Better still, run it like a street drug business - pay cooks and delivery people, and have distributors in between - they alone know where the kitchens are. Eventually it's the chicken fingers episode of Community.

Probably has its own Pizza Hut. Delivery guys don't need cars.

I found some apartments in that building advertised on some random website for immigrants and those don't look half bad.

Most of them with no window.

So this is what Cyberpunk 2077 based its apartment complexes on

Can’t imagine the wait times for elevators at whatever the start/end of normal working hours must be.

Am I the only one who worries first about trash collection day than pizza delivery (wildly unpopular in China btw)?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'd assume the building has a trash collection chute. My old apartment building had one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I think they have collection centres (within the building), chutes were more of an American thing ("don't think about the trash" mentality).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Definitely not just an American thing.

And if they don't, I'm sure that they'd have pickup schedules like any town would.

There's a good chance that apartment building has easy to find organized unit numbers that pizza delivery guy can understand. Building may even have multiple front entrances each with distinct addresses.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The pizza guy very likely lives in the building too.

Pizza Hut makes a deal with the government to put all the pepperoni customers on the same floors, veggie people on other floors, etc. The lava cake freaks... there's a special floor for them.

Once saw a (German) documentary about this building. They have drop-off places on the ground floor where delivery drivers leave their goods in locked boxes. Payment and and locking/unlocking of the box is done digitally through phone.

P.S.: This one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgVXPEORuA0

The luxury floors should have automated dumbwaiters, so there's a little rectangle in the wall that's basically a primitive replicator. Trash leaves through the same chute.

Yeah, I've delivered pizza in a city of over 100k people. The whole idea of an address is to figure out where the destination is down to the personal residence. Doesn't matter if the people are spread out in a single building or many buildings.

I didn't go knocking on every door any time someone ordered pizza to an apartment. Biggest concern about apartments were if they had a buzzer, if that buzzer worked, and if the code matched the unit number or would be easy to figure out based on the information provided. And if it wasn't, their phone number was part of the information provided.

You are all absolutely smothering the joke, lol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This wouldn't be necessary if everyone used the proper peer review process before publishing their jokes!!

I am the pizza delivery boy.

Unfortunately he is tied up at Peach Trees, trying to deliver justice to Ma-Ma.

I imagine with that many people there are restaurants and services within.
