  Ah yes, let me just drop on by to the store around the corner in [insert basically anywhere other than the EU] that regularly stocks a specific German soda.

  GTFO

    Beware of Scots in warpaint for the foreseeable future. There’s a reason it’s called “Scotland’s other national drink”.

    Other than that, heaps of reasons to have it delivered indeed. When I broke my ankle it’s how I got my groceries.

  Some people have injuries or disabilities, and can’t leave the house.

  For example my mom doesn’t have a car and can’t walk to the store and back with heavy stuff. Home delivery of stuff is quality of life.

  Irn Bru isn’t available throughout most of the world without ordering it online

  People getting really defensive in here, I agree with you bud.

  Ordering groceries is something else than ordering a single soda :) and there’s definitely some classist undercurrent about white collar worker’s time being more valuable than deliverer’s or service staff.

    I ordered a six pack of Irn Bru a couple months back because I live in the US and have no way of trying the soda otherwise

      Ok, but do you think the OP was talking about someone like you? I think it’s not too generous to interpret the OP as saying: they dislike people trivially ordering things they could’ve spent some of their own time on collecting it instead. Since they mention the timesaving after all. And I feel like they mostly meant the instant-delivery services rather than just ordering something online, but who knows.

      I think if you’re unable to buy it nearby and you order a reasonable quantity online you’re not who OP meant.

        See, here’s the thing: they made a generalized comment on a screenshot of what looks like an Amazon order. That makes it seem like they’re talking about anybody who orders food online, regardless of whether it’s Door Dash or 5-7 day shipping. There’s no way to tell from that photo whether that’s a single can or a box of 30.

        And that timesaving comment has the same levels of sarcasm as any “lazy youth” remark.

        Besides, if you’re willing to pay somebody else a decent wage to deliver something for the convenience to you, what’s the issue? At that point it’s no different from ordering at a restaurant or deli - pizza places have had delivery drivers for half a century! Should we be upset with people who don’t cook all of their own meals?
