A lot of people are bad with money and are way too ready to pay too much for convenience. This service has uses, but if you aren’t tied by need to use it, it’s pretty wasteful expenditure.

need to use it, it’s pretty wasteful expenditure.

At home, when we moved, we ordered a few times. The food ended up cold, late, wrong, AND 75% more expensive.

We used to order GH and DD at work a lot, they just priced themselves out of the market. on WFW days, we just either go there together or order form a place that has their own app and one person picks up for everyone.

We have a pizza place in the neighborhood that delivers to us for free, they're expensive but end up being the same price as ordering other places through GH/DD. When we want something outside the hood, I just go and get it. We get it faster, hotter, it's right and it's cheaper.
