It blows my mind that people use these food delivery services at all. The prices are wild. You hear people complain about how hard it is to make ends meet these days, yet they waste their money on these kind of luxuries. At least before you could wave it off as “well people buying Uber eats and complaining about the economy are separate groups”, but the existence of loans specifically for this blows up that argument.
- kmnc 1y agoThis is pretty standard. Poor people end up paying more for worse. Poor people buy poor quality which needs to be replaced more often. They go into debt and pay interest paying far more than the original price. They spend money on convienent options like fast food and food delivery because they have no time for other options. Or they are actually depressed and taking efforts to save money and be healthier just are not chosen.
- lm28469 1y ago> They spend money on convienent options like fast food and food delivery because they have no time for other options. Utter and complete bullshit. If you're truly struggling you eat 50ct cans of cold baked beans and cheap ham, not $20 shitty pizza delivered 97 minutes after you placed the order. Even if your only cooking apparatus is a microwave you have no fucking excuse for spending hundreds per month on food delivery and fast food. Cheap ass ham, a can of beans and some pastas go a long way and take at most 15 minutes to prepare, you can even boil them in a fucking kettle if that's all you have.
