It boggles my mind that people use apps like these

I sit there at work sometimes, and people are ordering food from takeaways ten minutes walk up the road, paying easily three times what you'd pay to go and get it yourself.

It just doesn't seem to occur to them that they can go and fetch it.

Only time I ever used DoorDash was when I was too high to feel confident about my ability to put my shoes on. Too bad I didn't think about how unlikely it was that I would open my door.

The only real reason I can see people using apps like these regularly is if they're disabled or otherwise unable to drive and can't easily go out to get it themselves.
