None of us need to purchase this goofy ass delivery powered by virtual slave labor. Spend no money, cause no harm. Let those capitalists seethe we no longer need to endlessly consume to be happy.
Said this few days ago and people had a melt down...
God forbid normie has to fix his idiotic consumption habits.
They don't even have to change their habits.
You can get delivery from many local takeaways without needing to send half (or more) of your dinner money to a silicon valley billionaire.
Pizza places in the US now used Doordash.
Even places like BestBuy are using Doordash. Shit is so crazy right now.
Yea, both Pizza Hut and Papa Johns can send orders from their own systems out to Doordash when they are too busy to handle them, when they are outside of their delivery zone (or I suspect when their own drivers don't want the order based on the tip or drive time).
The Pizza Hut in the small town near us doesn't even have their own drivers anymore, just sending them to all to DD.
I drive for DD, and besides a ton of Dollar General and grocery store orders, we also do some Pet Smart, Pet Supermarket, Tractor Supply, Home Depot, Lowes, and Best Buy (I'm sure there are others big box retailers I'm forgetting as well).
Sadly this is rapidly becoming untrue. There are at least two small mom and pop restaurants near me that have gotten rid of their delivery driver and just deliver via one of the app services.
