On some of those late nights, especially when I picked up Indian food, I’d be hungry enough to genuinely consider this

    I cannot, in any way, shape, or form, justify that kind of money on what you just said. Our grocery pickup to get us the next two weeks was $132 and we were being generous this time.

      I knew several people who would have a smoothie or some shit doordashed to work daily while simultaneously complaining they can’t afford food

        Yeah, I woke up late for a meeting one morning, and figured I’d try ordering a doughnut and coffee from door dash (my wife door-dashed/grubhub’d all the time, so I figured it wouldn’t be too crazy expensive), it was going to cost me 19 dollars to get a 6 dollar doughnut and coffee from a few blocks down the street. And then it suggested a 5 dollar tip for the driver.

        Fuck that shit, I just went hungry that morning.

      As a treat it’s worth it once in a while but definitely not regularly unless you are quite wealthy.
