  The faxtthat you have a stranger go and pick up your food is what makes it unthinkable to me. (Although if disabled or injured then I understand)

  Because if your car has broken down, or you’re exhausted from a long day of work and your family is hungry, or you’re too drunk to safely drive but still want food, or if you straight up don’t have a car and don’t want to cook that night, or you are on vacation at a hotel or airbnb and don’t have other access to food, or you have a baby that you can’t just leave alone for a few minutes to go pick the food up, or you are in the middle of a study session and it would be more convenient to have the food come to you rather than going to get it.

  Looks like there’s lots of reasons people might take advantage of the service that can deliver food to them, and it’s not unreasonable for them to expect that service to not completely fuck it up.

    Those are all valid individual reasons to get food delivered to you. That’s not what makes DoorDash “popular” tho.

      Yeah, tbh I’ve only seen “I don’t feel like driving, let’s DoorDash” in personal experience.

    So basically laziness.

      Yea dude. Not wanting to drive after drinking is just laziness.

        Consuming a drug without a plan of how the next few hours are going to go is incredibly stupid and lazy, yes.

        Yeah bro. Before all these slop delivery apps how did anyone ever survive. Do better. For fucks sake. Such a lazy excuse.

        Completely impossible to get food ahead of time. Just no way to have a pizza in your freezer in case you get hungry after a night out drinking. I just spontaneously get drunk sometimes so it comes out of nowhere and I’m not able to plan ahead. I need DoorDash or I would literally starve.

        Getting drunk without food prepared ahead of time is laziness. People safely fed themselves for centuries before delivery apps existed, they can do it now too.

      I mean literally. We all had to get food before these apps came in. I don’t understand the why we can’t now besides being pure fucking lazy and not willing to do anything to change the status quo instead just bitching about it online acting like there is nothing left to do. It’s so fucking maddening.

    My main income has been from driving for grubhub for a couple of years now thanks to some physical issues. Anyway, most of the people I deliver to are disabled, elderly, or both. I would feel like shit if I pulled the fuckery presented in the OP.

    This is why living in a city is awesome. Just walk 6 blocks and get a bite to eat.

    • PhoenixDog@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Did you read a fucking word they said? About being exhausted, or having to look after kids, or having housework to do… You’re still gonna find time for 45+ minutes to walk 6 blocks, wait in line, pay, and walk back and still have all the shit you need to do and still eat before it gets cold?

      Christ sake… “Just walk 6 blocks”. Tell a single mom that.

    Inconvenience of getting your own food is less than over paying for shit service. And you deserve it if you dont realize they dont give a fuck about you.

    Enshittification.

  I share your perspective and reading these comments made me realize we have different paths of lease resistance.

  For some who have gotten used to them, it’s easier to put up with the enshitification than not using them, for others, the path of least resistance is to not use them in the first place.

  Because I’m already high and forgot I don’t have any food in the house.

  • Rooster326@programming.dev ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Go hungry? Phone a friend? Ask the neighbor?

    Not give a tech bro $50 to deliver a depression by exploiting your community.

    What the fuck do you think we’ve done for checks notes the last 100,000 years.

      “No! I want to complain AND be lazy!”

    • feannag@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well for most of that history people lived in walkable settlements and cities. Pompeii had fast food stalls. And more recently (relatively) food ordering direct through a restaurant was the norm. Pizza delivery dates back to the 19th century, which is checks notes more than 100 years ago. So yeah, access to food has changed a lot and it is nor unreasonable to expect your delivery driver not to toss your food into the street.

        Ok. Sorry for upsetting the tech bro.

        Uber promises they’re sorry. Just keep giving them your money and they’ll fix it. They promise

  I was getting g a burger the other day (something I’m loathe to do but it was circumstances…) and as I’m waiting several dasher came in and grabbed orders waiting. I’m a people watcher so I sit where I can watch people come and go while I wait for my order and can still hear my name. Now, it was storming outside, I mean it was nuts. One of those dashers came in grabbed the bag of food and used it as a rain block to get back to their car. Just held it over their head like it was making any difference at all. Whoever got those soggy fries I hope they don’t go through the hassle again.

  You are paying double tge amount

  You answered your own question

  • Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    How would paying more cause it to be popular?

    I can get you Lemmy+ if you want! It has the exact same experience, but you get to pay me 10€ a month for the privilege.

    source

    • atomicorange@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Tell me more about Lemmy+. Do I get some sort of visual indicator so other people can tell I’m paying you 10€ per month?

      source

      • ignominous_wombat@lemmy.ml ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        No, but if you separately pay me $10/month, I’ll post in a different community every day about how you’re paying them €10/month.

        source
    • Zoomboingding@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Except it’s not Lemmy+. It’s just what the standard experience is, and most people seem to tolerate it.

    How does paying double make it popular

    source

    • Zoomboingding@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      The answer is that it’s not popular but it’s not enough for people to stop using the service.
