I don't understand why people want food delivery.. It is kinda expensive and I don't get it unless there is a significant discount.
You don’t… understand? That people want food but don’t want to go out? This really isn’t rocket surgery.
It's expensive.. I could just drive the 2 miles or toss something in the air fryer rather than worry of someone messed with my food
Some people don’t have cars, are elderly, too young to drive, disabled…
Some people have a lot of disposable income and don't care that their $7 meal at Taco Bell costs $17 to get it delivered, too. I think it's a bit crazy but it's their money.
and not one of those groups of people should be eating the shit food that gets delivered by these places.
This is a very bizarre contrarian hill to die on for you. You know that any restaurant can have delivery right? It’s not all Taco Bell lmao.
you realize that ANY restaurant isn't going to be 'good' food right?
Lol sure. Whatever you say. The hills you are prepared to die on are utterly bizarre.
ok buddy. im not saying i don't eat out, but it's ALL shit food. you have to know this right?
No my dude not all restaurants are shit food. Not in terms of health or quality. There are a dozen Michelin stared restaurants within a few km of me, and most people in larger cities are in the same boat. What are you even talking about?
Not flavor. Shit as in it's not good for you. Cook your own food.
There are dozens of healthy restaurants within delivery range. What are you even saying? You can make unhealthy shit at home just as easily.
Well it's fitting this "conversation" is in the Mildly Infuriating sub. I'm done. have a nice life eating at all your healthy restaurants.
Literally yes, 1,000% it is extremely mildly infuriating you’re being so obviously contrarian.
ok buddy.
For example, I literally have COVID right now so I'm stuck at home. I'm running out of food (I got sick on the day I do my weekly shopping) plus I don't want to cook or drive because I feel like twenty pounds of shit in a ten pound sack. My wife has work, school, and two stupid dogs to care for, so she's already stretched, plus I don't want her to push herself harder in case SHE gets sick too. I usually get our own food but I'm happy to pay someone to deliver right now.
People place different values on time, money, energy, etc. Just because you find it too expensive for the effort, doesn't mean someone who has more money and less energy would make the same judgement.
Sounds like you're telling me that everyone doesn't share my exact thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. That's crazy, sir/madam.
That kinda talk will get me shot!
In general fast food and restaurant food are overpriced compared to home made food, and the working class often don't have time between locations during the day. Also, like 40+% of the population in many developed nations are elderly now.
The reason people splurge on greasy junk food covered in sauce is never because it is a reasonable option, but because it's an option our monkey brains are willing to make the most sacrifices for.
Democracy at risk? Earthquake destroying homes? Drought threatening thousands? Sure we could pitch in $5 for that, or instead we could get the Large meal and an extra Fries...
EDIT: I think my hypothetical was decent and important, but I don't want anybody to feel ashamed to eat. Enjoying food is necessary for happiness and abstaining from so can be detrimental to mental and physical health.
Is it that hard to understand that some people just value convenience?
People are lazy
I think its handy when I'm sick. Just last week i got delivery because i felt so shitty i could barely get out of bed.
Some people have family and/or work obligations and can't just fuck off for an hour to get a cheeseburger.
