Delivery services are more efficient then having the same customer base all drive to the restaurant. Unless it's in walking distance, one driver can service many people using a lot less resources.
- nradov 8mo agoSo what? Regardless of mythical "efficiency" calculations, consumers are wasting actual dollars on conveniences that they can't really afford.
- ghaff 8mo agoThis whole thread is somewhat hilarious. It's full of reasons why expensive food deliveries are really the only reasonable option.
- nradov 8mo agoI guess we all starved to death 20 years ago when there were no smartphone food delivery apps.
- ghaff 8mo agoLots of us got pizzas delivered now and then especially in college and, if you lived somewhere like NYC, maybe Chinese. But this idea that you'd starve without food delivery in general is simply odd.
- XorNot 8mo agoWho is saying people would starve? Holy strawman batman! But if people are going to get judgy about food delivery then they can rather put the effort in to explore why they feel that way. But there's nothing efficient about hundreds of people making short distance car trips to restaurants, which is what was proposed as an alternative that is somehow "better". And when you factor US style urban construction in, it's pretty likely a lot of people also don't have walkable access to local outlets anyway.
- XorNot 8mo agoThe original comment was lamenting people not buying their own cars and driving to pickup food. Which is again, incredibly inefficient on every possible level and actually pretty damn expensive.
