I don't know where you live but my sister insists that we order with Doordash here in Canada and it's much more expensive than just going to the restaurant. Plus, the food is cold and there's an error with the order most of the time. It really sucks and I hope she would stop wasting her money on that.

    good for your sister. my experience using food apps has been nothing but positive. on rare occasion something is missing and i report it and i get refunded.

    also i think anyone who expects delivered food to be hot and ready to eat is entitled AF. you should expect to re-heat anything that takes more than 5 minutes to deliver, which would be most anything unless you're like 5 blocks from the restaurant.

    i don't know what universe people are living in where their take out doesn't have to be re-heated. mine always does. the only food that i don't have to re-heat is when i'm in the restaurant. my burritos that i walk to to get take out are always cold when I get home less it's like 80 degrees out.

    i don’t know what universe people are living in where their take out doesn’t have to be re-heated. mine always does.

    Pre gig economy?! I can easily remember the 90ies and early 2000 when restaurants had their own drivers and the food you ordered was still hot when it got to you.

    Also, my food is still hot when I just "deliver it from myself to myself".

    also i think anyone who expects delivered food to be hot and ready to eat is entitled AF.

    I think anyone who expects delivered food is lazy AF. I do it maybe once a year when I have friends over, but I also make sure to order from a restaurant with its own drivers, and avoid any venture-capitalist-gig-economy app. The other times, I just get off my fucking ass and go grab something at the restaurant. Plus, I live in a tower and most of those app drivers will not come up to my apartment. They just leave the food in the lobby downstairs. IMHO, Doordash/UberEats and all those are absolutely not worth it.

    cool. i live in a house and they leave it on my porch and it's great. I'd rather not waste an hour of my day to pick up food, that's not very convenient. it's pretty convenient to toss it in the oven for 5m to heat it up after it's delivered though.

    in the 90s and 2000s delivery didn't exist for me. I grew up in a poor rural area we ate out like once every 3-4 months usually during a major shopping trip or family event. so i guess i never had the privilege of any of what you are talking about where restaurants would deliver food.

    I only started using food delivery during the pandemic because it was the only way to eat out at the time.

    It's not a privilege. It was standard before those shitty delivery services appeared. You should have higher expectations instead of considering poor service as standard and defend venture capitalists that exploit both the people ordering and the people making the deliveries.
