I really despise these food delivery apps . To me, it's already expensive enough to buy fast food (or fancier food) in the first place. But to nearly double the price you would have paid, all to avoid walking or driving down the street to get it? I mistakenly assumed that it was doomed to fail when i found out how ridiculously overpriced it is (not to mention, you have to tip them on top of all that?!?).... I mean, good for the people who need to make the $ at least (while they still can, it seems inevitable that robots/autonomous vehicles will eventually capture this money-making avenue as well)
It wasn't all that expensive during the COVID lockdowns, which is where they saw the most success that allowed it to get where it is now. People got a taste of the convenience and now are comfortable paying more to keep the convenience.
On a scale of 1-10, how not disabled are you?
11?
I hadn't considered that disabled people have a penchant for over-priced fast food delivery apps, but i see your point.
in theory, cooking once for many people is efficient.
actually we need community kitchens again. that would be great. meet with your neighbors and cook together. in fact, i wonder whether they have any in my city ... hmm i can't find anything rn, i'll look again tomorrow.
in practice, well, yeah, some companies make a looot of money by cooking for lots of people at once. so called restaurants. i wish they were efficient. they waste waaaaay too many resources on "decorating" the room instead of just providing food IMHO.
I love the community kitchen idea 🥂
It's actually too cheap considering the companies that do this sort of thing skirt employment compensation laws by only having "contracted individuals". Truely in a better world it would not exist.
Must be nice to live somewhere where the food places are close enough to walk, and to have enough time to drive around everything else you have to do.
They're overpriced as shit, but there are uses besides pure laziness.
I'm not against grocery delivery, if that's what you're insinuating
Just don't buy useless sugary crap. Stop getting yourself addicted to junk food.
