Cheaper because the delivery service is intended to extend the restaurant's sales, rather than needing to extract enough value to pay both a driver and the middleman app. More reliable because the driver isn't just some anonymous person that decided to download an app but a driver that has an ongoing relationship with the pizza place. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 point 1 hour ago Sure. Good luck finding anywhere that still does that though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (17 children) Because if your car has broken down, or you're exhausted from a long day of work and your family is hungry, or you're too drunk to safely drive but still want food, or if you straight up don't have a car and don't want to cook that night, or you are on vacation at a hotel or airbnb and don't have other access to food, or you have a baby that you can't just leave alone for a few minutes to go pick the food up, or you are in the middle of a study session and it would be more convenient to have the food come to you rather than going to get it. Looks like there's lots of reasons people might take advantage of the service that can deliver food to them, and it's not unreasonable for them to expect that service to not completely fuck it up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 22 child comments replies: [–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 33 points 23 hours ago (1 child) Those are all valid individual reasons to get food delivered to you.

The only money reliably making it from the customers to the dashers are the tips, and only because they're required to by law. But for my case, it's something flexible and relatively low-effort that I can do when I'm not working my day job permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lyrial@anarchist.nexus 4 points 8 hours ago The trick here is to wait out the 7+ month waiting list for GrubHub. My stomach churns at the fact that I'm about to be a corpo shill, but I make an average of ~$27/hr (and yes for all of you that are about to jump on this, that is after taxes, maintenance, and time spent searching). The only thing I have to do to earn is turn things on like a cab. I earn about $10/hr above what is the average here and that's the only reason I'm not sleeping in my car. And, also - this applies to all of the delivery apps, but you sadly need to find a heavily gentrified area to do this. To pay the bills this way, you have to find and exploit the petite bourgeoisie. I make fucking good money doing this bullshit, even more than I did in my 20+ year career as a machinist. What fucking sucks about it is that you have to toe the red line, no matter where you are. If you are willing to drive to the suburbs with unnecessarily large houses, you will make money. I fucking hate this, but in the end by doing this kind of work you are in a way preying on the disabled and infirm, but they have no other choice so you are in a way helping. On the other hand, there's a good chance that you are draining class traitors of their capital. I don't know what to say beyond this other than what people say about "underpaid labor!" is, in fact, entirely dependent on area, and there are high odds that the people saying that it is impossible to make enough to live doing any sort of labor that nets you less than $100,000/yr. I want to go on a rant about how "office job labor"-centric mentality is way more prevalent than anything US-centric, but I digress. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 1 point 19 hours ago (1 child) This is why living in a city is awesome.

Pompeii had fast food stalls. And more recently (relatively) food ordering direct through a restaurant was the norm. Pizza delivery dates back to the 19th century, which is checks notes more than 100 years ago.

My stomach churns at the fact that I'm about to be a corpo shill, but I make an average of ~$27/hr (and yes for all of you that are about to jump on this, that is after taxes, maintenance, and time spent searching). The only thing I have to do to earn is turn things on like a cab. I earn about $10/hr above what is the average here and that's the only reason I'm not sleeping in my car. And, also - this applies to all of the delivery apps, but you sadly need to find a heavily gentrified area to do this. To pay the bills this way, you have to find and exploit the petite bourgeoisie. I make fucking good money doing this bullshit, even more than I did in my 20+ year career as a machinist. What fucking sucks about it is that you have to toe the red line, no matter where you are. If you are willing to drive to the suburbs with unnecessarily large houses, you will make money. I fucking hate this, but in the end by doing this kind of work you are in a way preying on the disabled and infirm, but they have no other choice so you are in a way helping. On the other hand, there's a good chance that you are draining class traitors of their capital. I don't know what to say beyond this other than what people say about "underpaid labor!" is, in fact, entirely dependent on area, and there are high odds that the people saying that it is impossible to make enough to live doing any sort of labor that nets you less than $100,000/yr.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago I share your perspective and reading these comments made me realize we have different paths of lease resistance. For some who have gotten used to them, it’s easier to put up with the enshitification than not using them, for others, the path of least resistance is to not use them in the first place. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago I was getting g a burger the other day (something I’m loathe to do but it was circumstances…) and as I’m waiting several dasher came in and grabbed orders waiting. I’m a people watcher so I sit where I can watch people come and go while I wait for my order and can still hear my name. Now, it was storming outside, I mean it was nuts. One of those dashers came in grabbed the bag of food and used it as a rain block to get back to their car. Just held it over their head like it was making any difference at all. Whoever got those soggy fries I hope they don’t go through the hassle again. permalink fedilink source parent
