Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Why? Because it's more convenient dude, at least in the UK. Is it lazy?, yes. Is it negatively affecting the takeaway industry?, also yes. Is it more convenient than going out of my house when I've finally got the kids to bed and just want to settle down onto the sofa and wait for someone to bring me food? Absolutely it is.
I'd probably direct my anger towards the shitty companies who exploit you, the drivers and the customers rather than the people just trying to get some grub down their throats after a long shitty day.
I'm mad at both tbh. I know I'm being exploited. But I'd be being exploited less if people simply understood that every convenience for you as a customer is another pile on top of the shit load of inconveniences we already deal with daily.
As a disabled person, I'd also love it if people simply understood that what is a convenience for them is a life-changing tool for someone else, and blaming me for your employers exploiting you is another pile of top of the shit load of barriers I already deal with daily.
You left out orders that get reassigned to three drivers who accept and cancel because the tip isn't big enough, so customer gets cold food and restaurant gets negative reviews.
It's so bad of a system that in some areas doordash is telling customers to pick up their own food because of wait time/drivers cancelling. So now door dash is causing prices marked up 30%, and you are doing carryout instead of direct ordering at restaurant to begin with.
It's got to be the laziest generation. Up until now people had to run errands. Now they are too busy watching tiktok to drive 2 mins to get deodorant or takeout.
I was a delivery driver. Most customers were 40+ it's not a kids these days thing. We don't have the money to order delivery. We deliver it.
