  Why? I know several young families that just don’t have the time or a car to get groceries for the whole week, delivery services help them a lot

    Also elderly people. Me or other family buy groceries for an aunt, she has Amazon for emergencies.

      Unapologetically filtering young families and old people out of my life…

    How can you not have time to buy groceries? It’s not that big of a process.

    I understand not having a car though. Some places are not very walkable.

      It’s not so much that you literally have no time but spending the extra money is a way to get the time you would otherwise spend on groceries to do other things like spend actual time with the kids before they sleep and walk the dog before it’s dark.

      That’s an hour or 2 you may not have.

        If you don’t have an hour to buy food, there’s something supremely fucked up about your priorities.

      Depending on the situation/ location, it is truly possible. During massively busy times, I have employed these services. It absolutely can be a big process, especially with younger children and 2 jobs.

  I guess I don’t really understand the purpose, here… You don’t like having rich friends?

  source

  • Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    why would people like having rich friends? it’s not like they’re likely to share their wealth, or they probably wouldn’t be rich…

      I guess you’re not good at the word “friend” 🤷‍♂️

    What do you people think “rich” means?

    source

    • Ledivin@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Able to afford to throw hundreds of dollars per month towards the convenience of having food delivered. Important to note that this doesn’t account for the price of the food (or that the prices are inflated on top of eating out), just the delivery fees and tips.

        You do realize that the people you should be angry at make hundreds to thousands of times more than a person who can afford delivery apps makes, right? You have been fooled into hating your own class.
