Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey

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.

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

  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.

    My aunt did fine getting shopping delivered, until she had a stroke that took out 20% of one hemisphere. Using a kitchen knife after that was downright dangerous. Is she supposed to avoid providing pizza or similar for her kids’ birthday parties in your world?
    
    Just one real world example that took me but seconds. Think beyond your bubble.

  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.
