People place different values on time, money, energy, etc. Just because you find it too expensive for the effort, doesn’t mean someone who has more money and less energy would make the same judgement.

buzz86us@lemmy.world 9 months agoI don’t understand why people want food delivery… It is kinda expensive and I don’t get it unless there is a significant discount.

Sounds like you’re telling me that everyone doesn’t share my exact thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. That’s crazy, sir/madam.

In general fast food and restaurant food are overpriced compared to home made food, and the working class often don’t have time between locations during the day. Also, like 40+% of the population in many developed nations are elderly now.
The reason people splurge on greasy junk food covered in sauce is never because it is a reasonable option, but because it’s an option our monkey brains are willing to make the most sacrifices for.

Is it that hard to understand that some people just value convenience?

Some people have family and/or work obligations and can’t just fuck off for an hour to get a cheeseburger.

You don’t… understand? That people want food but don’t want to go out? This really isn’t rocket surgery.

It’s expensive… I could just drive the 2 miles or toss something in the air fryer

Some people don’t have cars, are elderly, too young to drive, disabled…

Some people have a lot of disposable income and don’t care that their $7 meal at Taco Bell costs $17 to get it delivered, too. I think it’s a bit crazy but it’s their money.

and not one of those groups of people should be eating the shit food that gets delivered by these places.

For example, I literally have COVID right now so I’m stuck at home. I’m running out of food (I got sick on the day I do my weekly shopping) plus I don’t want to cook or drive because I feel like twenty pounds of shit in a ten pound sack. I usually get my own food but I’m happy to pay someone to deliver right now.
