      I expect I’ll never use door dash or similar services. The quality is so low and the price is so high.

      If I had to get something delivered, it’d be a pizza. Well, you know, one that still has its own drivers.

        As a former Pizza Hut/Papa John’s/Marco’s/Hungry Howie’s driver, totally fine with this. Food delivery drivers are typically underpaid, especially considering how expensive cars are.

        I kinda want to say that delivery services are charging what delivery should cost to compensate drivers fairly, but I don’t know how much of the customer pays go to the drivers and how much the delivery service keeps. I wouldn’t mind the upcharge on menu items if the driver got paid well.

        The price is high and the person doing the work is paid barely any of it - the tip is where most of the money comes from for them.

            You’ve never thought to yourself “fuck, I want a taco bell taco/burrito” or “I could really go for just a cheeseburger from burger king/mcd/wendys” or something like that?

            None of it is “good” food, but sometimes that doesn’t matter. I could make my own double bacon cheeseburger with seasonings and perfectly toasted brioche buns. But every so often, I just want a shitty fast food burger that I didn’t have to put effort into.

              But why when I can get an actually good one from another restaurant? Can’t say I’ve ever actually wanted to get taco bell except when others are already ordering from there.
