it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don’t even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it’s nice to treat yourself you’ve been working hard etc etc. you don’t have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break, horribly
i’ve worked too too many years doing delivery and honestly on good days it feels like being on vacation , just out there driving around somewhere peaceful without a boss over my shoulder
but whenever i actually order the garbage myself too much it can lead to a crazy period of overspending. i already spent $30 on a burrito that sucked why not spend $20 on a film i know is good, etc etc
The delivery thing has never tempted me all that much. Microwaving some crap from the fridge is just as good as far as I’m concerned.
I do remember an awful but funny app, that would pick a random geolocation somewhere in your city, then simultaneously order a pizza to be delivered to that spot, and call an Uber to bring you there to receive the pizza. I wouldn’t want anyone to use it in real life, but as conceptual art I thought it was clever.
