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.
The US is doing very badly. Growing up it was a 3 mile walk to the nearest gas station let alone anywhere that served food.
Usually was unsafe to walk that since there were no sidewalks and I'd be charged by at least 3 dogs in the way.
One time I tried to start exercising and decided to walk down my road. I had a cop circle me for 20 minutes, and 3 people offered me a ride which was nice but they were so confused that I was just walking
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.
Hi, yes, that's a very USian issue. We here don't believe in the separation of residential and commercial areas.
Sim City taught me that causes something called “congestion “ and the sims get pretty pissed about it.
Seems like USAians are very happy with congestion.
The UK separates like this, but residential are dotted with small stores, and industrial areas are strictly business warehouses and factories and such. Large stores are near the commercial/town centres and occasionally by the industrial.
What bull shit magic fantasy land do you hail form that ANYTHING is a 10 min walk away.
The American mind literally cannot comprehend the default state of being in Europe
Yes we are so used to living in hell
I'm in New York City. There's maybe a dozen food places within ten minutes. There's more, but some of them may be in the 15-20 minute range. Several million people live here.
What hell do you live in that's so remote?
Anywhere that is not a city? Each time these things come up, I become more and more convinced that city dwellers have no clue what it is like to live anywhere else.
Literally any suburb.
well I have like 10 restaurants within 10 mins walk...
One of the "perks" of living in poor parts of a city is having fast food within walking distance.
I don't understand how anyone can afford fast food now days, let alone paying delivery fees and tips.
The entire concept of DoorDash in a car centric part of the world is mysterious to me. If I’m too drunk or stoned to drive I just go to sleep. I’m not spending $50 on a cold Big Mac.
Not to mention it made pizza delivery infinitely worse
Self righteous internet person:
“You should not be able to voluntarily work for some extra income because I find it distasteful.”
Yes instead of assigning blame where it belongs (who keeps wages so low necessitating the gig economy?), they decided to blame the consumer.
People that are stuck being reliant on gig jobs like doordash would be rather unhappy and become rapidly poorer if people decided to stop using these apps. But that's what always happens. If buisness collapses the worker suffers and the CEO walks away rich.
OP really decided to make a class issue all about race
This is the redo of the rich person with all the cookies and two poor people fighting over one at the table. Except this person fell for being one of the poor people.
op was punching up, you changed it to punching down.
Criticizing the old fart who cheats on his wife with a prostitute isn't the same as criticizing the prostitute for trying to pay rent.
OP was always trying to punch down. The blame is on thr wealthy not the average person ordering door dash.
I can promise you the door dasher and the consumer are both much more close economically than either are to the shareholders or CEO of doordash
Nice bigotry, only "minorities" door dash?
The racism is in your head
Cute you still think they’re a lower class than you.
the system thrives in creating subclasses so everyone can feel superior and want to preserve the system, less they become like "them", because they are better than "then".
They just call them "poors"
Who's walking for fast food delivery?
people in walkable cities
To be clear, pay for a delivery to be walked to you?
This seems so strange, I understand bicycle delivery, but walking delivery...
That exists? Like do people really pay for someone to walk food to them?
when I lived in a walkable city, I rely rarely ordered food (like a telepizza when friends are over because the secret is in the dough).
never understood why to order. I can go downstairs and have a dozen restaurants/cafes within my own block. IE, it's cheaper, faster, and more comfortable to just walk downstairs and eat. only issue is that you have to wear pants.
You could've made this 'meme' with, literally, any service or product, couldn't you?
and?
the meaning doesn't change if you replace the brand for another.
No? A delivery truck is a 100x more efficient way of delivery.
Yes but that delivery truck driver is being just as exploited. They make less than their labor produces.
In your view that's the fault of the consumer apparently
