I refuse to use any fast food apps. I'd rather they did not
have all that information at their greasy fingertips.

Folks who do not use apps to get discounts subsidize the
buying power of those of us who do. Thank you.

You're very welcome. Glad I could help.

I'm eating your lunch, and I didn't even have to bully you to
get you to hand it over.

You keep thinking that. LOL I'm sure that big two cent discount
you think you're getting from the three times a year I eat at
McDonalds is going a long way for you.

What I find most puzzling is people using apps, like Door
Dash, for delivery. If someone is housebound, for whatever
reason, it's use could be justified. But how lazy does someone
need to be to not drive to [Insert store of choice here] and get
whatever they want/need? Why spend so much more for whatever it
is? To use an app to pre-order take out is only slightly better.
The user is still paying more for the stuff, just without the
delivery fee. The only way it's a plus is if there is a MASSIVE
discount offered for the app's use. With fees, any savings will
often be negligible, if overall savings actually exist at all.

To be fair, I have found myself in the middle of making something
spectacular only to discover, "Holy shit ! I'm out of [fill in the
blank] and I just summoned it by Door Dash.

I would either get it myself, or have the wife or our
youngest go get it. But that's me.

I've never had food delivered. Not even a pizza. Not once.

Why not?

It made the plandemic less heinous.
