Comment on A customized delivery experience

  There is, don’t order food to be delivered to you house. Going from every pizza shop, and local fast food joint, having people who would drive the food to anywhere within a few miles, with just the idea you would likely tip them if you got your food on time, to having to pay anywhere from 1/4-2x the cost of your order to have it delivered, by a third party, that is a huge faceless corporation, with poor service, is really disheartening.

  So many times the restaurants stop hiring delivery people and use the apps instead.

    I’d bet that even if they don’t accept costumers coming to them, there would be a grocery store within the same distance.

      What if I have some other job like plumber or fireman?

        They can (like everyone) afford way more groceries than take-out.

  My local city council gave Doordash a 5 year exclusivity contract in good delivery in our market, which led slowly to all of the local pizza places and Asian food places getting rid of their delivery drivers, so even if I want a local pizza delivered from a local pizza place, I still have to use Doordash.

    This would mean that pizza is worth more to you than your principles about the matter.

      And that pickup, by the user or a friend or someone they paid themselves, is for some reason or another completely out of the question.

        Well, you can see from my comments that it’s not just you… But there are few of us left.

      All of you in my replies really seem to not understand how many houseboy disabled alone people there are out there

        So there are only services for take-out, but non for groceries?

      Actually, given that most pizza joints will happily sell you a pizza for take-out, it just means their laziness of not wanting to go get their own pizza means more than their principles on the matter.
