Got peeps ordering cigarettes, potato chips, chocolate bars, soda…

Comment on The food delivery bubble is bursting — and maybe that's not a bad thing

Thank god. I’ve got too many friends who “can’t afford” anything, but order fucking uber eats almost daily. “woops, spent $70 on taco bell!”, they’ll laugh…
Shit needs to legitimately stop.

It really is that price too. You go in the app and start adding like $20 worth of food to buy and somehow by the time you’re done tipping it’s $70.

Of that 70 dollar order, none of it actually pays the driver. So yes. Let the companies die.
If you really want that ultraprocess garbage spend the ¢50 in gas and drive to the taco bell. The new one by my house even has a mobile order lane separate from the standard ordering lane, so you can at least skip waiting behind the Civic full of baked college bros that forgot what a quesadilla is.

Baked college bros driving to Taco Bell seems like more of a case for convenient delivery options imo, they should not be driving at all

Good point. I was more roasting my past self in my comment than anything.

Lol, reading this reminds me of a Jack In The Box commercial from the mid 2000s: youtu.be/3ZdT9MkyG7I

Not only that but it pushes the ‘everything on demand’ mentality. All of these people I know have gained 50 or more pounds since the COVID lockdown, and they got trained to order everything online.
