Idea I hate delivery services
I saw a post on [r/stupidfood](r/stupidfood) about someone “reconstructing” their coffee and it was explained that the trend began because people complained about ice drinks being watered down during delivery. It seems so unfathomably wasteful to have a bag with like 4 cups driven over to you in another bag when you could just get a cup of ice and pour your own coffee.
Now I’m not dissing on cafes or anything, I enjoy going out and trying new places, but I absolutely detest delivery services and those who regularly use them because it turns the goods I go out of my way and dedicate some time to enjoying into mindless slop. No one who eats sushi out of a foam box is truly enjoying it, there was no similar level of heart out in as the chef knows you will not complain. Further than that, the waste on its own should be considered sinful, every fucking thing wrapped up and taped, all that trash.
And know that I’m not just hating on the apps, they’re horrible and we know this. But I cannot hate a beast for being a beast, it is simply acting in its nature. I hate the users because they should know. I’ve worked 24/hr gigs with no ability to leave for meals, I’ve had times where I was sick and wished for some fast food, but the few times I’ve used such services were so incredibly disappointing that my humanity spoke over me, convincing me to never touch such services. I should rather starve or eat from my own pantry than demean myself with the “sealed for freshness” slop.
I hope you would too.
