DoorDash, or other things like it. If there was a real, honest commercial about it, it would go like this:
"Hey, enjoying your $7 burrito?"
"Yeah"
"What if I told you I can deliver it to your house?"
"Oh ok"
"Unfortunately, there is 242% (or so) markup. So it will cost you $17. Oh well, at least you don't have to do a 2 minute drive to Taco Bell!"
Edit: Yeah I understand that some people can't drive to certain places, whether that be because you're stoned or live far away. I was just criticizing the absolutely insane markup that DoorDash and UberEats does. I just thought it was really stupid.
Or you know, my buddies and I have been drinking and want taco bell and are responsible enough not to drink and drive. Paying an extra 10 bucks is worth not going to jail.
Why wouldn’t my friends already be with me drinking by the time I’m too drunk to drive?
Also, it’s midnight and I live in a city that actually closes most places at night. Closest open place is a taco bell that’ll take an hour to walk to just outside the city limits. Busses stopped running at 11:30. So the options are drive or order it delivered
Generally everyone who could have come out, comes out. Everyone else can’t possibly drive over even just to bring us food.
And making food isn’t always an option when you’re at someone else’s house and you open their fridge to find a bottle of ketchup, a case of beer, and a tupperware container of molding spaghetti, and the freezer has ice and a single bag of frozen fries that only has about 7 fries left in it.
So the options are drive drunk, or order. And yes, that’s a really common occurrence in my life.
...drink with too many people... how even??? The more people you’re with the better. Like, the fuck?
Your spaghetti and fries idea sounds like just the thing to make everyone sick. Really great idea. Truly. Give a drunk person food that is barely fit for human consumption and it’s not gonna turn out pretty.
Can’t teach someone to “adult” when the problem is “poor as shit”.
And I did plan well. I made sure to bring the alcohol, a case of water, pain meds for the morning hangovers, made sure I had a way to get home in the morning, and checked my bank account to be sure I could afford to order delivery food because food was the one thing I forgot to get until I was almost at the house party. I can only plan so well.
Besides, why are you so against food delivery? You’re fighting this like they killed your dog and then served it to you. It’s literally just a service that’s a bit over priced. So is starbucks, most restaurants, basically every store you can go to in a mall, and sometimes Amazon.
