>eating out and food delivery is literally a scam 90% of the time
>food quality is abysmal and service even more so
>tipping is literally throwing money away
Except for a handfull of restaurants, and probably most of the really higher end establishments, dining out is a waste. Food delivery even worse since your getting the same slop but at a premium and it's not even fresh.
I think my hangup is paying the middle man (tipping, delivery fees, etc) but also the food quality just isn't there most of the time.

Bread in murrica
-Your options are wonder bread, "speciality bread" which is just wonder bread in a different shape, or driving 2 hours to the closest rich people neighborhood to buy $6 loaves of "artisan bread" made by some guy who went on vacation in europe and decided to get a $10 million loan from dad to start a bakery that is open between 11:45 am and 2:15 pm except the weeknd and holidays
Cheese in murrica
-Your options are spray can cheese, plastic slices, "speciality cheese" which is pasteurized garbage like tilamook or sarvecchio counterfeit ali express cheese but they act like it's some gourmet delicacy, or $39 per 2 oz slice of obscure hobby farm shit made by a vanderbilt or a rockefeller running a hobby farm but she wears carhartt so you're supposed to think she's an old timey farmer

Oh well at least our mexican food mostly doesn't suck
