Why do you just assume everyone can drive? Plenty of people either don’t have a license or don’t have a car.

It’s definitely true that ignorant people ignore the fact that people with disabilities exist.

Where I live every major grocery store provides free assistance to people with disabilites who have trouble to shop.
Extortion companies like Door Dash are not the solution.

You realize a take away is a lot different from shopping for groceries, right? What you have said isn’t relevant and isn’t a solution. There is no perfect solution for people with disabilities under capitalism because capitalism is incompatible with the needs of disabled people. It’s also not just about disabled people. Not everyone can afford, wants, or needs the most dangerous and environmentally destructive form of transportation in common use.

and yet somehow we’ve survived as a species this long. how in the world did we make it without door dash?
areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 5 months ago
That’s not at all a response to what I said. Does it hurt you that much to admit that maybe something you don’t like has a use? Or can you just not live with the idea of not having a car?
FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 5 months ago
it has a use for useless people.

Why? Who’s holding a gun to the head of these drivers and forcing them to work for this gig? The onus isn’t on the customers, it’s on the drivers.

My guess is either their landlord, their hospital, their bank, or their college. Not an actual gun, just proverbial. A lot of drivers are just desperate to make ends meet however they can.

I’ve used these apps – when I was quarantining because I had Covid, wasn’t in a state to drive, and needed groceries.
FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 5 months ago
yet SOMEHOW the world got on just fine before them. weird how that works.
Gutless2615@ttrpg.network 5 months ago
You do realize delivery existed before grub hub, right? Please tell me you understand that.
FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I never said it didn’t.
oatscoop@midwest.social 5 months ago
The world got on fine before the internet too.
FontMasterFlex@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It did. the internet is a blight on humanity.

There are times these apps make sense. I crashed my motorcycle doing an ubereats delivery and broke my collarbone, and then used the service myself a bunch of times while healing. Ironic, but that’s life.
Side note for the people wondering what happens when you don’t tip upfront (on UE at least): Prospective drivers see an offer of $4-6 for a job that will take them 45 minutes and say “fuck that” while they slam the ‘no’ button. This will go on for a while until the system is able to find another order on the way to combine it with, or someone accepts it anyway.

My friend would order food from a different shop that had delivery instead of walking across the fucking street to the place that quite literally was across the street. I could see it from my bedroom window.
Some people will do anything to avoid having to go out and while i’m very similar, I think like 3-4 blocks is my limit lol

This is assuming you live in a city and not a suburb
wheels@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Unless you’re in europe where suburbs have food places in walking distance

Too bad they’re all pizzerias.
SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Goddamn I miss that. Restaurants and bodegas within walking distance of your apartment.
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
Tbh I’ll order pizza from the good shop 10min away before I order from the shithole 2min away. The difference? “Good food.”
I always pick up, but still this could be understandable.
