Confession -- I have never used one of these services. The closest I have come is having a pizza delivered via Slice rather than phoning in my order. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 14, 07:53 3
- we almost NEVER get food delivery. Even during the pandemic we went and picked it up curbside. We didn't want the struggling restaurants to lose all - Andie Mar 14, 08:04 2
  - I had delivery *once* when I was just too tired to drive around the block. I thought the restaurant used their own drivers but it came with - Meg Mar 14, 08:41

There are kids that order $1 McDonalds drinks to school but that cost $8 with delivery. Good economics there, bud. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 06:56 12

- i do NOT understand the cheap fast food delivery. why? -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 06:57 10
  - pandemic started it somewhat but the enshittification of life generally by "oops all apps" for every little thing VC can squeeze revenue out of -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 07:00 6
    - I don't understand your post. Are venture capitalists forcing people to use apps? Or is VC Viet Cong? Is Charlie making people use food delivery? -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 14, 07:04 5
      - they're forcing restaurants to cut them in for 25% or go out of business -- (link) - hollywood big shot Mar 14, 07:07 1
        
        I'd preferred that you would have blamed Charlie. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 14, 07:15
      - It's more of a field of dreams scenario. If you make an app for it, some people will use it, even if it's a dumb thing to do. Dumb people will -- nm - rollo Mar 14, 07:07 2
        
        No, you can't use Field of Dreams and dumb people in the same analogy. Dumb people don't randomly drive to Iowa looking for baseball... -- nm - crash davis 😺 Mar 14, 07:13 1

This is a person who needs to learn more about fixed vs marginal costs. -- nm - na-Baron Mar 14, 06:54 2
- I would also urge people to remember that fast food delivery basically did not exist 4 years ago. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 06:58 1
