$68.50 on doordash a day? for one person? also i find it hard to believe that someone would be ordering chili's, applebee's, and hooters when those are some of the worst quality food and people only go there to sit down
hold up have you even met americans?
i had to do some gig delivery at one point and I can assure you that people are absolutely ordering that shit on the apps. And this was in a large city where you could get pretty much anything you want
i believe you but i seriously question those customers' judgement. i've delivered ubereats/doordash as well and it sent me to those places like 1% of the time, most of what i delivered was Chinese places, five guys, and a local taco place
I dated a girl who told me she spent $600/month on take out and she was on a student's budget.
Same. Big sushi order 2-4 times a month. Granted they didnt have a car so.
I used to be embarassed about my sushi habit in college and it was like 60$ every 3-4 months. Man, i miss those nights. We were all so young and dumb and horny and sushi was new and cool. We thought we were so cool in our "fancy" thrifted clothes (back when thrifting was cheap) that didn't really fit, driving beater old cars downtown. It all seems so quaint looking back but at the time it was just amazing being alive.
I still religiously hunt for good sushi and deals for it. Before covid I found a place that still did really good, unique, specialty rolls for $15 and had a happy hour section of also based rolls that were $5. I mean this is a place that still insists on putting asparagus into rolls and it works so fucking well. Good sushi/seafood IMO is one of those foods that money really does make the difference for, compared to steak or cocktails.
Happy hour sushi makes for such a great cheapish date. Ugh I miss dating.
$68.50 in door dash is what, $30 of food at menu price before fees and tip?
Which is still high, a hole in the wall restaurant is usually like 20 dollars per person and I usually tip my old Chinese grandma waitress/cook half that because I love her
The column header says sum of subtotal, I think this is before fees, tax, and tip.
Bc the overhead on delivery is so high; they couldn't afford more premium food.
A lot of people have appalling taste, often just for lack of options or experience. You wouldn't believe the shit Minnesotans eat on purpose even though they don't have to.
