I grew up poor and well but I sorta also think you’re trash.
Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey
Elting@piefed.social 2 weeks agoI just grew up poor and find the level of fiscal irresponsibility involved in ride sharing your meals appalling. Not one of those “pull yourself up from your bootstraps” guys (there are lots of forces that keep people in poverty), but you might aswell be lighting money on fire if you get doordash.

This person could be getting a catered bbq spread for a family. The idea that you automatically assume this is one person buying something for themselves shows you’re just looking for a reason to be angry.

I could feed 10 people ribs and potato salad and it wouldn’t even come close to breaking a hundo (I usually feed more on labor day). That is the power of doing your own cooking.

What if the customer is incapable of some or all of the chain of tasks required to produce the home cooked equivalent?
Could be they work pretty much their whole waking life, running 3 or more jobs.
Could be they’re disabled and can’t do grocery shopping, or food prep, or cooking.
Before you judge someone, spend a few minutes imagining why exactly the circumstances are the way they are, and aim for a bit beyond the hateboner fantasy you already had in mind, yeah?

You have really made a character there. My 90 yo grandma gets by on getting her groceries delivered. Most places do that themselves since the pandemic (or you can get curbside.) and you dont even have to pay doordash for it.

It is crazy how much of a price difference there is in between ordering and shopping/cooking. We’re really lucky to have a weekly farmers market with an incredible fish stand. They sell better quality and cheaper fish than Whole Foods so that compounds our savings too.

Well look at you. Why’re you judging someone on buying something and not someone stealing something.
