This is the biggest point. You can simply not use them. Cook your own food or walk or drive or bike to a restaurant.

There is a massive market of lazy AF people who also are terrible at personal financial management, and they are the ones complaining.




I hear this a lot but I don't think the "lazy AF people who also are terrible at personal financial management" is really fair.

I order delivery through the apps a ton, but it's not because I'm bad at financial management. Like many here, I have a well paying job that takes up a ton of my time and energy during the week, and cooking every night is simply not feasible. Takeout is expensive, sure, but if it enables me to hold down a job that let's me afford it, it's a conscious trade-off that I can make.

Could I spend more time meal-prepping and freeze meals instead? Sure. But again, time and energy.


There's also seemingly an army of judgy AF people just salivating at the chance to call other people lazy.
