      A) I’ve no licence

      B) I’ve no car

      C) The only transport near where I live is a bus every hour.

      D) there are no fast food places near me outside of a Chinese takeaway that’s a 5-10 minute walk up and down steep hills.

          Yeah! Are you too good for a 4 hour round trip with 50 pointless stops on an empty bus? Too good for that 1 hour wait time if you miss it? You should instead use said bus to go grocery shopping so you can carry that shit home instead of conveniencing yourself and being rightfully upset with the cost and bad product. /s

            Jesus christ, if you can’t manage to use a bus properly and feed yourself without relying on door dash you should move back in with an adult.

          A bike isn’t an option everywhere, especially in the US. My parents are from the Netherlands, where almost everyone bikes almost everywhere. When they moved to the US, my dad biked to work. Once. To my knowledge, in the 30 years they lived here, he’s never decided to try it again.

            One of the games I play on my commute is imagining what the bike route would be like. I looked it up once and every path included a high traffic street with no sidewalk; where I live, that’s straight up flirting with death. Cycling in my area requires a large group and/or limited capacity for risk assessment.

      I’m told the most frequent customers are students. Somehow the people with the least money use it the most. Teach your kids to cook…

          Perhaps in your area. Where I live it’s pretty common to have a shared kitchen. Probably a product of not teaching them how to cook and them burning down a few buildings haha

      It gets more cost effective the more food you order, 1 meal @ 15$ + 15$ in fees and tips is outrageous, 50% of your total is just fees and tips. But 4 or 5 meals at 50-60$ + 15$ in fees and tips is much more reasonable. The DD fees don’t scale to the order size you make (surprisingly lmao).

        Fifteen dollars in tips and fees?! wtf?

        Is the food delivered with a Porsche and the delivery person personally feeds you or what?!

        Over here delivery is like 2-3€, and you tip if the service was above average and well then it’s usually by filling up to something convenient (this is based on until recently still mostly using actual cash, so tipping to save the delivery person the time fiddling with change, “just keep the change”).

          The fee is about 8-10 depending on the restaurant and your area. I usually do a tip of about 5-7 so that I can get better service from the driver. Really, the tip should be thought of more of a “silent bid” for services or a bribe if you want to have fun with it lol

        These meals don’t cost the money to be microwaved again, it’s just not that good. Better off ordering groceries in that case.
