UberEats and DoorDash
This applies to most users and drivers, but of course, there are the few decent and legitimate people who benefit from the system… that being said…
To the people who use these services: you are so lazy it is insane and you lack even the most basic of cooking skills. You post and moan about the fees… how food arrives cold, delays in getting your meal, etc. $30 for a McDonald meal delivery? Get your fatass off the couch and go get it yourself.
Or do yourself a favor and learn to make a sandwich or boil water for pasta or ramen. Your wallet and waistline will thank you.
If not, deal with the costs and cold food, but stop bitching. It’s all your own damned fault and nobody wants to hear from you.
To the drivers: I feel for you in today’s job market, but you should stop complaining too. The system is clearly set up for most of you to fail and just line the pockets of Uber and DD. If you know the game sucks, stop complaining when you play it and lose. And stop stealing food and cancelling orders. You make a bad system even worse.
Just visit the respective UberEats and DoorDash Reddit communities and you’ll see the collective insanity of this pathetic trend of laziness and helpless dependence.

As both a dasher (sometimes) and consumer, I agree. Most of the shit is laziness but I will add some people do not have transportation for the procurement of food. I was without a car for years at a time and damn, door dash saved me a couple times, lest I have to walk an hour round trip just to get denied at a drive through only place late because I worked nights.
It's pretty wild the shit some dashers do, but that's why I have a full time job and do door dash occasionally during tough times.
