A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Idk who is using all those expensive ass delivery options. Just pick it up, food is fresher and cheaper.
Personally, I have no family to take care of and work from home, and as part of that I gave up on cars. Very good for my finances overall. But it does mean that restaurants that were once a 10 minute drive away are now inaccessible except for delivery.

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.
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.
The only bikes I see on my drive are there in memorial to someone who died there on a bike.

Doordash be like $17 + $4 + $6 = $57.86
And don't forget to tip your delivery driver!
Skip The Dishes recently made a sneaky update to their app that changed the minimum tip from 10% to 12%. Sneaky bastards.
(industry standard is 200% plus more for fast service, preferably in advance)
plus federal tax, state tax, city tax, fuck you tax, and another fuck you convenience fee :)
Cooking your own food is pretty cool just saying
My neighbors get everything delivered. Even a single bottle of water. It's insane.
Every mass venue or event entree ever.
Stop ordering delivery. I never have used these shitty apps. I also never order pizza delivery. I can't believe how many people trust their unsealed food with strangers who nobody is watching.
Half of the places I order from seal the bags with stickers that make it obvious if someone has tampered with it. And also, I don't really worry about it because I have never done anything to this stranger to make them inclined to tamper with my food. And if they're doing this job, they probably really need the money and don't want to risk getting banned (can't really say fired because they're not technically employees) and are also in such a hurry because every second counts on picking up enough orders in a "shift." Not everyone is out to get me. I've mostly had good experiences with delivery and most of the screw ups are from the restaurant, not the delivery person.
All that said, I should order less delivery. For my health and my wallet. But I just value my time probably far higher than I should.

Literally bitching to my friend how I just spend $13 fucking dollars at McDonald’s and the food was cold and disgusting, I’m tempted to calll my credit card company and issue a chargeback.

I've not really used the new food delivery services and with the cost of fast food and freshly made food in supermarkets rising so much as it was, I've actually started making basic dinners at home for myself instead.
I also now buy premade frozen things that I can just pop into a toaster oven for those lazy nights. Probably on par or better than the fast food anyways despite the extra effort of buying ahead of time.
This is why I started ordering for pickup the few times I absolutely need to eat out, otherwise I just suck it up and make my own food.
More like when someone buys you lunch but the food and service suck terribly. I tend to complain and then I catch myself.
USA, living on tips since before my old ass got here.
I know that feel
