Same.

People also like to bring up disability as a reason for these services to exist. And I'd be perfectly fine with grocery and food delivery on this scale if it was just for the disabled and elderly. But as a person with a physical disability, I'm going to call bullshit and be real for a second, 90+% of the people using these food slave apps are just lazy bastards with no disability preventing them from cooking for themselves.

food delivery wouldn't even be that bad in a world not dominated by capitalism. but car infrastructure combined with fast food combined with profit seeking at every level, sucks all potential out of it

Yeah pretty much. Imagine a communist centralised and planned distribution system for stuff like this. Would be cool.

One of the guiding principles of Soviet city planning was laying out districts so you didn't need this. Most factories and workplaces had canteens on site, and all those terrible terrible brutalist apartments that somehow only exist in winter were built with schools, groceries, transit links, gyms, theaters and restaurants withing easy walking distance. "Fifteen minute cities" except real, not some neoliberal public private bullshit. Idk if it always worked or how well it worked, but that was the goal of a lot of city planning. They wanted people to have everything they would need within like a square km or something.
