it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don't even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it's nice to treat yourself you've been working hard etc etc. you don't have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break, horribly

i've worked too too many years doing delivery and honestly on good days it feels like being on vacation , just out there driving around somewhere peaceful without a boss over my shoulder

but whenever i actually order the garbage myself too much it can lead to a crazy period of overspending. i already spent $30 on a burrito that sucked why not spend $20 on a film i know is good, etc etc

Delivery is most useful for people who smoke weed and/or other drugs often. You get the munchies, you can't drive and don't wanna go out anyway so you have food appear magically at your door. Doesn't matter what it costs.

I'm too much of a miser to pay for delivery. Hell, some weeks I have gone vegetarian without intending to, just because I'm too cheap to pay for meat.

Not sure why the downvotes, seems perfectly logical to me. I have been there. Rarely, but I have

Idk either, not a big deal though.

I love that new Snoop Dogg/GrubHub commercial. I watch the whole thing every time it comes one.

It seems perfectly targeted. I don’t smoke or listen to Snoop anymore and have never used GrubHub but it makes me want to start doing one or two; maybe even three of those things again.
