You’re overthinking this, snatch.

Damn that’s a good idea

Can you doordash inside a restaurant? I’m happy to use it at places I’ve been wanting to try, but I don’t want my food to show up lukewarm and soggy. Can I sit at a table or at the bar, order a drink, then place a doordash order and eat it fresh in the restaurant?

Haha, total boomer post.

If not liking cold soggy food is a boomer move then suit me up in a Cincinnati Bengals jersey and let me play quarterback

It was mostly the “Can I use a food delivery service for dine-in?” aspect of the post.

You can use it for pickup though! So why not pick up and eat 15 feet away?

I did not know that. You should start a lifehacks youtube channel if you don’t already have one.

Oh wait I found a liquor store that delivers via doordash hell yeah

I knew you’d get there eventually.

Yep. Not all places do pickup, but you save so much money avoiding fees and tips.

Ever noticed the price differences between menu items on doordash and the same items in the restaurant? Yeesh.

Yeah DoorDash, GrubHub, etc. are terrible for restaurants. We only use them for big chain restaurants, which isn't that often. If it is local and they don't deliver, just go pick it up. The fees are crazy.

People are idiots for spending so much on these services.

If you're sick, physically unable, elderly, expensing a meeting meal, whatever... i get it.

But most of the people I know who use these services regularly are young, physically able, usually responsibility-free (no kids, etc), but they just don't want to get off the couch or make – or go get – something themselves. So, let them pay I guess? Is that a wide paint stroke I just made? Yeah, but it's my experience.

But like Ruddo said, awful for the actual restaurants. My bro owns a restaurant and took it off these platforms. Why on earth would you let a contracted third party control the last-mile of a customer's experience of your business?

I like the new Dominos campaign where they "tip" you $3 to come pick up your own pizza. Lol what have we become.

Idiots.

my neighbor got chips and soda from the gas station delivered to them recently

The details behind this post are probably a big part of when my opinions about pandemic ethics and risk assessment shifted. The second half of 2020 was something, wasn't it?
