it is weird that there is bidding for this instead of just all being "buy it now". Who wants to plan several hours ahead for probabilistic takeout you probably won't even get, to maybe hypothetically save several dollars?

You're forgetting that after the few hours wait, you then need to bribe/bid/whatever whichever ~~shithead~~ "gig professional" they get to deliver it, Ubereats, Lyft, Hinge

Good news, if you are already used to using gig workers, you're already used to hours old cold food. It's got SyNeRgY

i mean, i make a mean pot of chili. we could plan for there being 20 servings, let them bid on all 20...
