How about I just get food from one of the 15 places in easy walking distance as I'm in a city.
Or even if you're not in a city, drive a little bit and pick it up. I have that many options within 5-10 minutes' driving distance
Some people's don't have cars? They want to stay and focus on their homework or chores or anything? How about those with 30 minute breaks who order and time it to land within their break time? How about those who are who are sick/disabled/less fortunate and unable to get to locations easily without extra effort?
Only the last one of those is mildly valid. The rest are not good enough to tip the scales to make it reasonable.
Even if you don't have a car, you should probably be saving up for one instead of blowing money on Doordash. Grocery delivery would be more practical.
Huh, if I went out to the corner and bought food and came back, it would take 20-30 minutes. Sometimes, the restaurant is busy, and I sit there knowing I will have to not eat it because I will just have to clock back in the second I get back. Sometimes, I have to explain why I was late. Why would I put myself through that and not just get someone to do it for me in advance.
Mildly valid for disabled or less fortunate individuals...
One other thing. I bought food for someone, and it is more attractive to receive it from the comfort of their home instead of being annoyed by traffic or getting dressed. How about those with a car that don't want to deal with traffic? Ever hear of comfort, or are you one of those people who think no pain no gain hard-core lifestyles are the only way to live?
It's just silly that you think not using Doordash is some kind of uncomfortable or hard life.
Bottom line is that it's a luxury that is unnecessary for most people. If you want to waste your money on unnecessary delivery, that's on you. I prefer to keep more of my money to spend on durable things rather than temporary conveniences. That's part of the reason that I own a house and land.
Lol.
