Lmao what?
For my car for instance, I like to talk to the person about things going on with it, I just got quotes for tires for instance.
I've literally never ordered food online, other than a few random restaurants that are online order only. They took down my email and made me make an account, fuck that for getting some dinner. I'm not subjecting anyone to anything, taking calls is their job. They just write down the order on a ticket and make food ???
Also there are quite a bit of restaurants in my area that do not have websites. Think like pizza shops, bars, a ton of non-english speaking places. Also not everyone can use a website or app. Older people in particular.
When I have people work on my home for something I can't do myself, they often prefer the calls and I do as well because I need to iron things out and get opinions and chat.
When it comes to work, I'll literally send an email and get a call back sometimes. It just works better for my field.
You're the one being weird about something people have been doing for the past century.
