Just another reason to avoid Door Dash: Best to get off your ass and get food. Better yet: Cook your own food!
Exactly. It's crazy how quickly this type of services get the "can't live without it" status. One day people are cooking their own food, calling taxis and walking around and next they will starve to death if someone can't bring them their BigMac and can't get anywhere without Uber or electric scooter.
It's just frustrating because almost all the restaurants that used to have their own delivery drivers now just do Uber or Door Dash
Nothing wrong with scooters (shout out to !micromobility@lemmy.world), but bikes are better IMO. I agree with the rest of your sentiment though.
my friends cannot fathom the fact i walk everywhere in my college
im like come walk with me "but its so far" its a 15 minute walk you probably need it.
You'd be amazed with the number of millennials who need someone to get food for them. One of my friends from high school is a neckbeard who doesn't work and his parents literally bring all his food into his apartment and he's rude about it because they interrupt him playing video games.
I know people of all ages who can't cook.
I am a millennial lol. Not that I don't use delivery, but going to get food and cooking my own is pretty routine.
