SRS unless you're crippled and can't leave the house, get off your ass and pick it up yourself. BRB having social interactions with other human beings.

you know what takeout means right? takeout and delivery are two different things. you're describing takeout.

It's not worth it anymore. Home cook crew checking in.

Went out to dinner with the fam on thurs to a nice italian place in a nice area. I chose to get one of the cheaper options and got ravioli splendori for $18.99. The plate came out and I literally just stared at it for about 20 seconds. I ate it all in 1 min, he came back and I asked for another order. Dude looked like he saw a ghost.

6 raviolis for $18.99. 6 small raviolis. I ate both orders and dessert and I went home and had to have another meal before bed.

So if the prices aren't screwing you, what you get for the prices is about cut in half.

shrinkflation is real. eating out is awful. more expensive, you don't get full, and the food isn't healthy.

Annoys the **** out of me (srs) raise the prices and keep the portions decent or shrink the portions and retain the price you can't do BOTH

Well they clearly can but it should be illegal.

can't believe people still eat out so much given this

Yeah I mean dust off your kitchen appliances and learn to make your own pizza from scratch.

Maybe you'll even discover that being engaged in the things that build your every day life can be fulfilling.

Imagine that.

Spent £60 on a Chinese the other night and they didn't even give me complementary prawn crackers.

Wild times.

Trump dumping 10 trillion dollars (96% of which went to big business) into the economy has nothing to do with the inflation.

Taliban take over of Afghanistan, Putin invasion of Ukraine, and Hamas attack on Israel are ALL Trump's fault too, I assume?

Deliveroo and ubereats are a fuking scam now. Sometimes the amount for delivery fee, service fee and tip ends up being the same as the price of your food. Fuk that.

I remember when the Italian restaurant that I would get pizza from was less than $10. for a large before Covid. Freaking insane what all the places are charging now. No coupons since it's not a chain.

I've never used any of the services. Their surcharges are ridiculous. If I want take out the places are about 5 min from me so I just go get it. No delivery fees or tipping needed. If I really need it delivered the places deliver so there's no surcharge at least.

No idea why people still use it. I gave it 4 tries during the pandemic. Once to order groceries (which was fine) but the other three times were to order take out and every. single. time. It was a chitty experience.

1. dropped it off at the wrong house so it was an hour late. They were long gone when i asked for the whereabouts of my food so I had to walk the 4 houses down to creepily take my food off of some strangers porch.

2. I didn't like the idea of a random person (unassociated with the establishment) dropping off my food thats open and accessible to them

3. you wind up paying a $20 premium (minumum) just to have the food delivered to your door when the gas just to get there and back yourself is cheaper.

4. for some reason the food is always ice cold by the time it arrives.

Uber Eats / DD is nuts because you tip in ADVANCE before you get the food. If you don't tip, your food order will bounce around the queue because none of the drivers will accept it and it will sit.

Will never use delivery apps

Like other people have said, try to stop buying it. It's worse food for more money.

There are people who are low-IQ enough to use 3rd party delivery apps at places that have their own drivers? hahaha
