No, remember that poster would never use a delivery service. |
One reason is that many people in urban areas don’t have cars. It’s a convenience that many think is worth it.m |
Exactly. And even if you do have a car, are you going to get it out of the garage and spend 45 min plus potentially each way and deal with finding parking to pick up your food or is it worth an extra 10 bucks to have it delivered? Mostly the latter. |
Bullcrap. And it's hardly urban apt dwellers, the most prolific DoorDash people are suburban SAHMs and WFH lazy asses. |
You are either a lobbyist or bot for these parasitic industry or in severe denial. You think we don't have eyes? I see the dregs of society picking up the food and their disgusting cars. You guys are insane leaving your food alone with these people. |
No, no a little loose sticker on the bag totally prevents any tampering or bed bugs or God knows what else in the car by mentally ill drug addict delivery drivers, who probably aren't even the person who signed up for the delivery app. |
| I believe the last two posters are the same person. I get that you're upset, but lashing out with sweeping insults and dehumanizing working people says a lot more about you than it does about food delivery. If you truly believe all drivers are 'mentally ill drug addicts' and 'dregs of society,' maybe step back and ask why you're so invested in vilifying these people. You sound less concerned about food safety and more angry that poor people exist in your line of sight. |
Or maybe I just understand that criticizing low-wage workers isn’t the moral high ground you think it is. It’s possible to recognize industry flaws without demonizing the people doing the actual labor—try it sometime. |
My characterization and description of the servant "labor" isn't the issue, the issue is the Wall Street parasites who own these skimming, race to the bottom apps and the lazy ass wannabe or wanna-feel bourgeois who use them, thus enabling this entire predatory industry. |
You say the issue is the corporations, but you spend all your energy insulting the people trying to make ends meet and those who use a service for convenience. If your real enemy is 'Wall Street parasites,' maybe aim your fire at them instead of punching down and moralizing over someone else’s lunch order. I actually agree that the gig economy has serious structural issues and that companies like Uber Eats exploit both workers and consumers in different ways. But I don’t think blaming individuals who use the service—or the people doing the deliveries—solves the root problem. |
Friend's husband is a director for large restaurant chain and he seems to think, just based on what is most often ordered, that the majority of Door dash customers are simply too stoned to drive. A typical order is a half-dozen cheese biscuits and lava cake. Not exactly a balanced meal. |
And you are bizarrely paranoid of food-borne illness???? |
My billing rate us $1,100/hr. That 30 mins to run out and grab food costs $550 in billable. Paying $10-$15 for delivery is a no brainer. |
I totally believe this. Too stoned or drunk. PP Nutcase obsessed with the drivers, would you rather these drunks be on the road? |
Never look in the kitchen of most restaurants then, especially chain ones.
40 years ago I remember peeking in the kitchen of a restaurant when the door swung open, and every cook in their was just in boxer shorts and a wife-beater tshirt, and shoes, cooking away. Guess it was hot in the kitchen!
I only eat at restaurants where I know the owner or the cook staff, or don't eat out. |
