Stop fucking using these extortion apps. Drive your lazy ass to the shit food station yourself.
My friend would order food from a different shop that had delivery instead of walking across the fucking street to the place that quite literally was across the street. I could see it from my bedroom window.
Some people will do anything to avoid having to go out and while i’m very similar, I think like 3-4 blocks is my limit as far as walking. 5 mins for driving, any more and I’m just ordering something lol
Unless you’re in europe where suburbs have food places in walking distance
Why do you just assume everyone can drive? Plenty of people either don’t have a license or don’t have a car.
It’s definitely true that ignorant people ignore the fact that people with disabilities exist.
Where I live every major grocery store provides free assistance to people with disabilites who have trouble to shop.
Extortion companies like Door Dash are not the solution.
and yet somehow we’ve survived as a species this long. how in the world did we make it without door dash?
That’s not at all a response to what I said. Does it hurt you that much to admit that maybe something you don’t like has a use? Or can you just not live with the idea of not having a car?
I’ve used these apps – when I was quarantining because I had Covid, wasn’t in a state to drive, and needed food.
I don’t use them anymore, but these types of apps can fill a “need”.
yet SOMEHOW the world got on just fine before them. weird how that works.
You do realize delivery existed before grub hub, right? Please tell me you understand that.
There are times these apps make sense. I crashed my motorcycle doing an ubereats delivery and broke my collarbone, and then used the service myself a bunch of times while healing. Ironic, but that’s life.
Side note for the people wondering what happens when you don’t tip upfront (on UE at least): Prospective drivers see an offer of $4-6 for a job that will take them 45 minutes and say “fuck that” while they slam the ‘no’ button. This will go on for a while until the system is able to find another order on the way to combine it with, or someone accepts it anyway.
Why? Who’s holding a gun to the head of these drivers and forcing them to work for this gig? The onus isn’t on the customers, it’s on the drivers.
My guess is either their landlord, their hospital, their bank, their supermarket, or their college. Not an actual gun, just metaphorical. A lot of drivers are just desperate to make ends meet however they can. There’s a lot of shit to be said about the gig economy, but it does provide flexible schedules, and while some people just want to monetize as much of their time as possible, some people actually need to.
