MODERATORS
"I have to order Doordash because I live in a food desert"
"Can you taxi to the grocery store and back for about the same as the delivery fee?"
"No"
not sure what point you're making -- it seems like you're criticizing anyone who engages in this ? regardless of context, circumstance, ability, or reason???
I use doordash because I'm tired AF and it's 9pm (stores are closed) and there is nothing in the fridge.
Paying an extra 10 bucks to get food delivered while I can relax for 30m an drink a beer is priceless.
That's the definition of luxury and discretionary spending
I used it when I was working 100 hour weeks and wanted to spend every hour after 9 pm too stoned and drunk to move. It was an expensive luxury, but also the one maintaining me at the stress level where I wouldn’t want to kill myself. I’d order enough to split over multiple days so it wasn’t as obscene.
I don't care.
edit: seriously, the shame you people feel is pathetic. I don't need you to confess or explain your takeout life to me ffs. I guess you just need people to tell you your decisions are OK. Man the fuck up
People can't follow a conversation for one fucking second I swear
telling american pleb he should check his consumption habit... might as well called his mum a whore lol
Taking a taxi 20 minutes away can be like $50 each way and involve an hour-long wait. Taxi service has changed a lot in some areas.
