A certain Ms. Wu, not a co-op member, likes the co-op's philosophy but says that most people won't join because it takes too much time and money: "Most families in Taiwan are double-income, and working women can't go out regularly to buy and distribute groceries. It's a lot easier to pick up what you need at a supermarket or convenience store."
非會員的吳小姐則表示，雖然共同購買立意很好，但由於需要經濟實力和充足時間配合才能參與，所以很難讓大眾接受。「台灣是雙薪社會，上班婦女無法定時定點去接菜，相較下超市、便利商店還是便利多了！」
