Walk 10 mins...? What bull shit magic fantasy land do you hail form that ANYTHING is a 10 min walk away. The nearest fast food to me would be like just shy of a 2 hour walk at an avg pace.
For most people getting anywhere is like 8-12 miles here in America if not further.
Pretty much every country except for the USA seems to be a bull shit magic fantasy land. At least when living in any kind of larger city.
I can walk to a spot, but it's 15 Minutes there and then again back, plus getting dressed, plus waiting for my order. I could order pick-up of course, but at that point I would have to use the same app I can use to get it delivered. Can I spare an hour for dinner? When I'm meeting someone, of course. Several even. But when I just need to eat something, I'm not going to.
This may not necessarily apply to you, but those 30 minutes of walking would do wonders for the overall health of your average American.
If it's more affordable for you to order someone else to drive through the city to bring you food that someone cooked for you then there's something nefarious going on.
Wdym more affordable? I pay extra. I buy an hour of lifetime for like 3€. Sounds like a great deal to me.
If it makes more sense to focus on your specialization while paying somebody who specializes in local food delivery to do the delivery... No, yeah, that kinda sounds right. The actual issues I see here are not valuing the labor of delivery and getting too lazy, and maybe an issue where people are generally too time-pressured to take a break to get the food.
