food delivery

I’ve never used any of them, even pre-shutdown.. i even stopped getting pizzas delivered years ago.. Why? Becuase I’m a control freak, and hated waiting around for my food to be delivered, which could sometimes take an hour or more, and half the time it was cold by the time it got to me.

So for years, I’ve been ordering to-go/takeout instead of delivery, and i have to say, the one silver lining of the pandemic is that it seems like restaurants and their employees have been MUCH friendlier and receptive to take out orders since this all began.. in the past, i sometimes got treated as if i were costing them money when doing a to-go order, even though i always tip.. so that’s been nice.

I'm the same way. I never put my finger on it but the control issue is probably a good suspect for me. I usually couple restaurant visits with some other thing I need to get out for and call 15 minutes ahead.

Now what pisses me off is the businesses (I am assuming they have been burned by no shows) who wait until you get there to drop your food. We have to get past that shirt.
