Comment on A customized delivery experience

I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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.

    They ordered pizza or Chinese or some local store that had their own delivery drivers. That doesn’t exist anymore.
    
    Oh sorry, was this supposed to be some dumbass “gotcha” that completely ignores reality?

    People produced less, the economy was better, the climate wasn’t at this point in the collapse.
    
    People are so unreasonable for wanting to pay for convenience.

    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.

    Your comment literally screams “No one ever visits me and nothing I do is for enjoyment”

    The freezer pizza is nowhere near as good as a fresh pizza from a decent pizzeria though?
    
    You’d have to cook your own pizza for it to even be comparable.
    
    Like yes I always have something I can heat up at 3 AM if I’m working an all nighter to catch up on shit, but you know what tastes best when drunk? Hot fast food I didn’t have to prepare at all.

    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_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
    Yes, and for centuries, leaving your house while drunk to go get food was a viable option because walking or riding a horse while drunk is a lot safer than driving a car.
    
    Then we got cars, and the roads became dangerous. And yes, there was a brief period where there were no delivery services from restaurants. But very quickly, restaurants realized they could get more sales if they offered to deliver food to people for reasons like the many I listed above.
    
    So to be clear, are you pining for that brief period of time a handful of decades long, between the time of cars being widely adopted and restaurants offering delivery and using that as an example we should all return to?

- sel@piefed.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
  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.

  Yeah seriously
  
  I started doing Doordash recently to try and get on top of my finances and I’d feel awful about the stuff here
  
  And to be honest
  
  They’re fucking everyone over, the Dashers make basically minimum wage if that, Doordash marks up all the items on the menus, and adds a bunch of bullshit fees.
  
  The only money reliably making it from the customers to the dashers are the tips, and only because they’re required to by law.

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

- PhoenixDog@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨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.
