    I don’t understand why people want food delivery… It is kinda expensive and I don’t get it unless there is a significant discount.

      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 rather than worry of someone messed with my food

          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.

              This is a very bizarre contrarian hill to die on for you. You know that any restaurant can have delivery right? It’s not all Taco Bell lmao.

          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. My wife has work, school, and two stupid dogs to care for, so she’s already stretched, plus I don’t want her to push herself harder in case SHE gets sick too. I usually get our own food but I’m happy to pay someone to deliver right now.

      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.

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