Even before COVID there were a lot of trends supporting food ordering among the working class: depression, anxiety, car-lessness, weed legalization, etc. I'm not happy about the volume I've been hitting ranging from maybe 2-5 times a week.
- oramit 6y agoYeah, if you don't have the space to cook in, or are shuffling between multiple jobs and don't have time to shop/cook then takeout is the only real option. I'm not knocking takeout and delivery at all. The huge proliferation of it is just alien to how I operate so it's interesting to hear what other people are up to.
- tmpz22 6y agoI knock the monopolistic-capture by organizations like Ubereats who have to take a huge chunk to justify their VC investment. Restaurants need every ounce of margin they can get if they're ever going to have a hope of adequately compensating waiters, linecooks, and other staff, who are extremely exposed to covid and poorly treated in general - not to mention drivers.
