• It is not that easy for everyone. I for example can’t afford a car. And restaurants aren’t exactly around the corner. So if i want to get food like that, i have to have it delivered.

        • 5 euros is cheaper for delivery than 15 for a train ticket. Its not that big of a deal honestly. I don’t know the pricing in america but its not to bad where i live. The food itself is becoming way to expensive though.

          I only order food a few times a year so its no problem.

            It’s significantly different in America. I think doordash has different payment structures in Europe bcos of laws whereas, in most of America, drivers are paid next to nothing. It’s like tipping culture with American service workers, except way worse.

            So like, inflated prices (set by the restaurant and optional, but often done to make up for doordash’s cut) + delivery fee (pocketed by doordash of course!) + ridiculous tip bcos now I gotta pay this driver’s livable wage.

            Door dash really is an unsustainable business. It’s probably gonna tank in the next 5 years, I’d bet.

      I’m happy that you are physically able, that you have places within walking distance to pick the food up from, or if not that you own a vehicle and are not vision impaired or afflicted with some other ailment that would make driving impossible. I hope you reflect on how fortunate you are.

        I do, all the time.

        My point was that most people are able to procure their own food without paying exorbitant fees for it; in their case, I consider it lazy and wasteful. That’s also my opinion, and people are free to apply their own judgement.

      If I’m bothering to go out anyway I’ll just get ingredients from the store and do it myself.
