Or even just order through the restaurant’s website or over the phone instead of using a middleman. Especially smaller places sometimes have better offers if you do it that way.
This is hell in the UK because no one on the other line speaks English.
I don’t order food but whenever I go in I’m thankful for automated self-checkouts because I pick my order on a touchscreen in seconds instead of shouting it at some poor busy deaf wageslave over noise of ovens and sirens blasting.
Or if you can get take out, or check and see if the restaraujt itself has delivery. Idk about elsewhere, but in the states shit like uber eats and DoorDash tend to screw over the restraint too.
The mark-up is nuts too! Not only are you paying service fees etc., the cost of the items on the menu is also higher when you order through these kind of apps vs. the vendors own website or in-store.
Elitist bullshit, sometimes it happens that people actually work long hours in difficult jobs and would like a little treat without having the time to actually go out. So yes, these services existing are a good thing. It’s not a laziness issue, it’s a privilege issue.
Sometimes I want a takeaway when my kids are already in bed, and I think it’s generally frowned upon to leave them in the house on their own while I amble down the street to get a chicken balti.
Most of the time, restaurants do the delivery themselves and charge a couple of quid for the privilege. I’m fine with this arrangement.
Or go pickup the food yourself. Those companies tend to be toxic, wherever they are from

Or home cook.
I agree it’s so much nicer to go out and eat at restaurants.

Lazy people: „Not possible. I need these services because otherwise I would starve!“
Same with Amazon etc.

You’re certainly not wrong. I could’ve made it clear that I meant people who constantly use these instead of occasionally.
There are people out there who order their food multiple times a week and it’s a problem in my book.
