feels like at the bottom of the online food chain. in the beautiful world of commercials delivery service has promised to make your life easier and more efficient. but what it takes to get there is not so pretty. they ask you skip your break today maybe just take a shorter break we're talking about equipment that. the market is highly competitive with it's a winner takes most market and highly lucrative for the winner. take to us to express one of many providers in the nascent beverage delivery sector to us to express offers online ordering little price difference to shops and

delivery within 2 hours the company has been expanding across germany since 2017 but one driver reports that the pressure on workers is high he's afraid of getting fired and wants to remain anonymous it would be easy to fire us because we're. in the company piles on the pressure if anyone talks about health and safety that results in immediate dismissal or disciplinary warning and then others get scared to open their mouth. a union representative says it's not an isolated case. the prevailing atmosphere is one of fear and exploitation. anyone who talks about electing a works council. people are on short term contracts. to us to express turned down an advance interview when confronted with the accusations the company told us that it's in a development and expansion phase and therefore irregularities or grievances are to

be expected in a statement it said we feel obliged to meet existing regulations and frameworks regarding labor law in addition we seek to communicate on a collaborative level with all our employees. the market for food delivery has been developing longer before rondo took over 3 of its competitors in 2019 and is market leader in germany with 65 percent the british company just ease is strong throughout europe. in china makes one jumping dominates the markets. the leaders in the u.s. are grub hub and dominoes. around to work through the nice we a company leaf around opossum gap inc in a taxi to the courier hub in berlin he co-founded li for rondo here in 20095 years later he sold the company to the dutch firm takeaway now the

38 year old is a board member there the next step in the company's plan is to take over british compared to her just east. careers pick up their bikes at the hub and drop them off again at the end of their shift. batteries get recharged backpacks put away bikes repair it. unlike many international competitors delivery workers here have a contract. every week the company hires 150 to 200 new couriers. and you are going to a younger generation orders meals more often than older people going about their tradition of cooking at home every day is dying out we're seeing a growing trend. but there's been criticism of lee for rondo too that wages are paid lace equipment is inadequate and contracts are short term and the fronto kind to us that their workers gear is the best there is temporary contract late payments

are isolated cases. we have to ensure that we continue to grow. the stuff and sometimes we don't get things exactly right the 1st time around or during the summer and i wouldn't say that we're perfect we're trying to create the best possible conditions for our employees for the. top working conditions and rapid growth at the same time is a balancing act that creates a lot of pressure especially in young companies i always keep an eye open for other job opportunities just in case i get laid off here more they don't renew my contract. never in the history of retail has it been easier to consume but most of us agree the rate at which we have buying is becoming increasingly unsustainable and whether

it's instagram as protesting against black friday or the pope referring to consumerism as a disease backlash against by by by seems well underway but when you look at the annual shopping spree in the holiday season the numbers tell a different story. tis the season to be dry and sustainable visitors to this so-called alternative christmas market in that district to predict science are united by one thing. a rejection of what they see as rampant consumerism. and definitely considering the environment where i'm thinking of so i when i'm considering to purchase give my friends and family basically a show from 2nd hand shops you know with their clothes. the best way to give them experiences rather so i got my mom.

rose backs recycled from trash and homemade shampoo just some examples of gifts designed to appeal to the climate conscious consumer coupled with black friday boycotts on instagram anti consumerism now a significant trend. well not at this christmas market at alexanderplatz right in the heart of berlin here the vibe is much more by you buying by. it can be i can't imagine christmas without presents at all what kind of christmas with that right now i can imagine christmas without presents at all though in germany christmas related spending per capita has risen steadily over the past few years. in the united states christmas spending has almost doubled in the past 20 years. and on a single day in november a chinese shopping giant alibaba our sales nearly matched cameron's entire economic

output in 2018 in that context the anti consumerism movement is just a drop in the ocean. with it. did you know that the prices you see online. be determined by the kind of device you use it is just one example of what's called personalized pricing using other rhythm driven methods online retailers get you to buy more on x. piece explores the data carbon footprint of your online shopping habits. everything's cheaper on the internet right so we load up our shopping carts but the items aren't always as much of a bargain as we think. it's time to personalize pricing my online retailers each of us may see a different price and i phone user gets a high one yes amazon knows what device you're ordering from the costly smartphone

signals a wealthy purchase or a desktop user a sign of technological backwardness generally gets offered a lower price consumer protection as complain about this. calling it in a comedy $2.00 but it's hard to come back in the future retailers will know even more about our habits to have more data and they'll be able to analyze it better algorithms will figure out what prices we're prepared to pay. worldwide 64 percent of internet users worry about their data being misused in brazil it's more than 80 percent and in germany just over half in japan they're somewhat less concerned. but internet retail just keeps on growing currently by 22 percent a year the germans receive an average $24.00 packages from online purchases each year in china where people do the most online shopping in relation to their income it's 70 packing. so should we be worrying about the environmental impact of these

deliveries and all that packaging one german environmental institute says the carbon footprint of traditional stores is worse because they use so much electricity and heating but what about the online fashion industry german shoppers for instance return every other delivery. which is then sent to another customer making 3 routes per item more transport more c o 2 more packaging waste for millions of items of clothing the online retail sector is letting its ecological krentz slip through its fingers. google apple facebook and amazon the big 4 tech giants make their money by harvesting our data most of us use their services every day without worrying too much about privacy issues but do you really have to put up with that number of tonnage civs have been cropping up.

this man refuses to use whatsapp and google because they track his online activity even when the apps are closed the internet activist widely known as paddling sees this as an intolerable invasion of his privacy. but who are also in love with you is my nightmare scenario is that any last glimmer of hope will die and people will just say there's nothing more we can do in the fight against total surveillance for a time when the economy. services that tracking collect data about our online lives are incredibly wide spread platforms like facebook say that uses benefits because the tracking enables advertising to be tailored to suit the individual.

christiane link works for wire an alternative to whatsapp over the years the company has observed and responded to shifting security needs. what's up rock that was already very big and powerful when we launched our end user product in 2014 and we realized pretty soon that security was a much bigger issue on a corporate level them for the end user but in fact all of this so in 2017 we changed our strategy to focus on institutions organizations and businesses so one of organiser thrown onto an infrequent. change of topic attracted many new customers like chemicals giant to be a s.f. the company spends 8 year as a month power employee to use the messaging service. the other thing it's a must for metaphor another of our clients are younger and they're using one. science is to build a communication platform with that customers so they can send things like financial

statements and other financial information without using email much more so than here it's a platform that's not externally accessible. paddling belongs to a german association called digital courage the campaigns for consumer protection and privacy. after users can think about whether they really need to do so much digitally. we need to consider the data we're handing over for the sake of a bit more convenience and maybe it's ok to do without some of that convenience so . email provider sustainability is a principle that applies to figured as well as business employees who get free

locally sourced lunch every day who are on. we get a loss of recommendations from friends and family and that's the principle we follow to visit we don't place adverts anywhere so we really rely on recommendation as long as. the company has around 350000 customers they could have more with appetising but they don't want to compete with the big players. it's not an option because it's not sustainable growth like that is very difficult to manage even as a company after 10 years we have about 30 employees of someone that's gross you can handle organically. you need to form teams and see how you harmonize it takes time because we're pleased with our growth we're strong but not explosive we couldn't handle that was on such things as. internet activists says developing a european search engine would help to. to privacy and reign in the data collecting mania. the european union needs to make funds

available billions in fact to build the search engine. and publishes the data should have power over it and europe should take ownership you know. awareness about sustainable digital consumption and data protection is growing many people just don't know what the alternatives are. and parting with money for them is hard when the big names are offering products for free. so there are options out there but what about people who want to buy local but can't resist the convenience of online shopping the small town of gonesse book in southern germany has set up its own online marketplace made up of dozens of local retailers it's a response to our changing habits of consumption and the seemingly overwhelming competition from the online world all reporter you went to investigate.

was everywhere not a customer in sight a problem in shopping zones across germany even when it's not so cold today it's minus 10 degrees celsius in the small bavarian town of bint you have to be pretty desperate to venture outside at all. it's got hello i need a ski helmet. right follow me i'll show you what we've got. planned to set off on my trip next week. i'm already thinking a skiing holiday is bound to be expensive. for all i. j v. i want to check how much the competition is charging. for what does it cost here and you cost it's on special offer at $129.00 euros right now.

we're not under 29. 19. 106. if you want to check things out on the internet there's never any guarantee that you'll get the right sides here you'll find just the right size and you'll even get advice thrown in for free as well. but if i order it online i can get it delivered and send it back if i want. no problem here either just go to our website you'll get the help and if you want to buy for 30 well even deliver it today they're going to. say it's 2017 of you're in going to pull duck websites local retailers have been offering fountains of articles mykola text set up the website is this answer to amazon. honestly no one stands a chance against amazon the website is really only there to give us an online

presence and that's a pleasant our customers come from all over germany. has come from book the other half from around the country this. book and that hope the drop in sales caused by sites like amazon in a bookshop which also offer school supplies like satchels island another shopping trip. i wonder what happens if someone photographs a barcode on yeah this is the part yes nowadays you've got software which automatically shows the product on the internet if you go through so you get customers who walk into a shop look for something then just take a picture of it if they like it it's quite cheeky isn't it very close to the life yeah yeah but that's just the way things are that's why herman hunter has been online for years where he markets the hundreds of thousands of articles in his store room he says people are going into town less and that has repercussions. on

the other hand customers actually going into a shop a better informed than ever before thanks to the internet that's good for retailers people who come into this wine shop ask for specific wines try them and then get them delivered to their homes. i only sell italian wines but i still have 800 different types from every region north to south and the islets. reds whites rosies and bubbly here in relatively small i can offer you a selection you'd normally only find in big cities. but that's only possible because i can buy the brick and mortar retail with online retail. what does that cost $9.00 euros 80 many thought and if i want to order it in berlin where i live what would i pay then. absolutely no problem it be the same price you ordered on vienna. and we'll ship it anywhere in germany for free. kara duck

sickly the otherwise disruptive internet for some conventional retailers at least a much better chance of survival. so we've established that a big chunk of our entire lives takes place on live but it doesn't stop there next report is a reminder that the internet is indeed everywhere in life and in death as i mean the quest never really thought much about coffins. definitely not for words pinewood individually decorated who was a former rectangular walnut birch. type italian style solid wood which i like. most of the coffins here cost between $1.30 euros. that

is not critical if i were picking one for my own burial i've been asking how much am i worth. or if it's for one of my loved ones what are they worth to me should i shell out 12 or 3000 euros and cards when i have not had to ask myself that question so far but it's one that everyone probably has to ask at some point. what are we worth when we die. this funeral home has been dealing with death since 1961 fabiani lensing who heads the family business says the funeral i've picked would cost $3.00 and a half 1000 euros the price reflects not just the coffin and the flowers i've chosen but also the fact that lensing is available around the clock. as it's different with sometimes we spend 5 hours with the client discussing all the details that we might work on the text for the deaf announcement or on the

decorations for the funeral service the music there are lots of details and i think you can only do them justice by discussing them in person. because anything is pretty good i just. undertakers are often criticised for charging too much the bereaved tend not to haggle. but what p.r. involved says his company can offer funerals 30 percent cheaper with no hidden costs the berlin startup has raised millions from investors the purchasing and planning processes have been digitalized customers can select everything on their computers or via telephone hotline that way they can see how much each item costs and what the total price will be. as an exception i get a personal consultation here the same package and picture earlier would cost around $600.00 euros less. but how kind if because people don't really have

a sense of what it costs we made a video about that we went out and asked people what they thought a funeral costs and the answer is ranged from 521-5000 euros or much more we heard everything because this is a deal of time so people don't know what a fair price would be yes exactly i don't think they have any sense of what the right price might be but if the other guys to go with. death is big business. in germany about $900000.00 people die each year with funeral revenues totaling $2000000000.00 euros it's a market that conventional full service undertakers like fabia and benson are having to share with more and more new competitors and here he is making the final preparations in the chapel before the mourners his clients arrive he says his company's image has less to do with pricing than its reputation for reliability. and he says he can't compete with startups that have the backing of big investors.

these are often institutional investors that put money into lots of things that they like about we'll see maybe it'll pan out maybe it wasn't the market leads to a distortion of the market for the smaller businesses that might not have the resources to keep up with a crisis like that squeezed out. digitalisation is changing things in his industry. true most people still prefer to hire undertakers to guide them personally through the funeral process rather than plan the event themselves on their computers. but i'm convinced that for my generation that will have changed when our time comes. even death is digital and all that's happy no that wraps it dition. thanks for watching and do join us
