People really, really need to learn to cook for themselves. Nothing wrong with the odd takeout, or even delivery but I sense a lot of people live on deliveries all the time and waste a fortune
I can't be arsed to wait for food delivery. I'll pick it up if I don't have the supplies and time to cook it. I was thinking I want a CWS for om Taco bell, but I still have planned-overs in my fridge. Also, the upcharge on food delivery apps are insane. I'll bake a frozen pizza instead for 5 dolla.
The expectation comes from SoftBank investing billions into Uber to kickstart the ride share industry.
I've never ordered food to my door. Not even pizza. The rare times I order takeout pizza I pick it up myself. Unless you're a senior citizen it just seems so wasteful and lazy and comically expensive to have food delivered to you. I mean I get that we're absolutely going to destroy this planet, but holy shit are we speedrunning it.

Never really thought of getting food delivered, with prices like that I shall continue not to.
I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people regularly demand that their food be cooked for them.

Society evolves buddy. I don't churn my own butter, but my grandmas did, and would find it ridiculous I have 247 access to a supermarket selling some. And it's even being kept at an exact temperature, all the time? Packaged without any sweat on it? Ridiculous!
