Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey
Elting@piefed.social 1 day agoYou 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.

If for some reason you can’t boil an egg, or use a microwave, then you should be in an assisted living situation and you are beyond having doordash be a lifeline for you. There is just no scenario in which doordash is an essential service and not an unnecessary convenience. Also most pizza places have and always will do their own delivery (and they pay their employees more because they don’t get to count it as a gig job.). Im not against getting shit delivered, just against paying a middleman for it.
