nah

Yes effectively
Most chain stores have 2 or more ghost restaurants going now that they do not care what goes on in the dining room as long as no one's bleeding.

Millennials and zoomers KILLED the in-person dining EXPERIENCE!

>>18291403
Not really, no restaurant worth a shit will prioritize delivery orders over people waiting at their table

>>18291403
it baffles me how many people drink 700 calories in goyslurp every morning

>>18291403

Political correctness killed the in-person dining experience

>>18291651
how so?

>>18291403
Pretty much.
Even going to Macdonalds now is a bitch.
They usually clear all the devliery orders first and the stuff is just sat out going cold before they get to the people who are standing right there waiting.

It's only ever a problem if they are using 3rd party delivery systems. Gotta fulfill that ubereats oder before the algorithm fucks your rating.

>>18291403
A lot of new hires, teenagers horrified and confused talking to someone at the cash register. Fuck in-person dining though. I don't want to hear or see other people sitting at a table and chair I don't like.

>>18291650
Friend works at chickfila and they have people that come through the drivethru at 6am every morning and get literal ice cream cones for breakfast.

I tried using doordash and it's fucking ridiculous and not worth it at all
>order at 12:40 at a place 6 miles away
>currently 2:52 and the stupid spic has gone past my house 5 times
>tried calling and they don't speak English
>get a text from them in Spanish
>first support tells me hea approaching with the order
>disconnects
>he drives by again
>second support person has had me in hold on and off for 20 minutes while the retard spic hangs out like half a mile away not moving
>offers to cancel the order
>I ask if I get refunded
>oh we can't actually even do the cancel on our end
The worst part of Texas is all the stupid fucking gravel eaters that dont speak any English and would struggle to dig holes for a living

>>18291403
The face to face is gone because people are fucking rude to anyone working anywhere.


I'd rather die then have a job where I talk with the public.

>>18292050
what the fuck happened to cause people to start treating workers like shit? It's never been this bad

>>18292235
>It's never been this bad
you have no idea

>>18291859
Did you get your refund?

Even my closest Jimmy Johns has a sign on the door that says "online pickup only". What the fuck is the point of a JJ's shop if you can't just walk in and order a sandwich that takes 2 minutes for them to make?

>>18291859
Fuck doordash a million times over. Ive had drivers complain they can't find my address, and even after specific instructions they will mark it complete without dropping off anything. Then doordash keeps like half the money anyway. uber eaats has been slightly better but honestly all these services are such a fucking scam. As long as I'm sober I would rather go pick up myself, and Id rather make a frozen pizza or something if I'm shitfaced.

>>18291857
that could be people getting of a night shift

>>18291403
Who cares? We lucked out and ended up in some fucked up timeline where everyone went insane over a flu, work became permanently phoned in from home, and all restaurants will now magically send whatever you want to be left at your door with zero contact like an even better version of pizza delivery.
You're a complete idiot if you're not getting everything delivered and taking advantage of the comfiest era in human history to date.

>>18292276
>paying ridiculous fees for intentionally overpriced food
No thanks. I'd rather not pay $20 to get a $5 meal delivered to me

>>18291403
On the one hand its quite ghastly seeing a queue of ethnics with massive Deliveroo and Uber Eats bags in restaurants while I'm trynna eat

But in the other I enjoy ordering said ethnics to fetch me a meal. I like to pretend I'm a colonialist in 18th century India paying the brown folk to do menial tasks for me.

>>18291403
i noticed its made people make assumptions whenever an indian guy walks into my restaurant, to the point of the host getting in trouble for asking an indian guy which order he was picking up for.
(should be noted, in my city atleast, it seems like 90% of the people did this contractor/gig economy delivery stuff is indian[india-indian, not native american-indian])

I hate it just cause i absent mindedly plate stuff up on plates most of the time, only to re-read the order and realize its actually a pickup. Probably "thrown out" 20$ worth of dressed salads in the last 2 weeks cause of this. In quotes, cause the fuckers in expo eat it before i get the chance to bin it.

>>18291560
Pretty sure it had a lot to do with some kind of global contagion that created a panic and made people stop eating in public spaces..... Nah.... muh millennials

>>18292283
I'd gladly pay $50 for it. Zero contact delivery of whatever I feel like left at my door any time I poke my finger at my phone screen is underpriced if anything. That shit is magical.

>>18292300
LOL look at where the first world is now. Fetch your own shit and this would not have happened.

big bean man
amazon and starbucks finna link up on that no-contact self-serve shit

>>18291568
I was at a Starcucks where they had me wait literally a half an hour because they were prioritizing drive through. This was during the coof so I wouldn't be surprised if the policy was to punish walk-ins.
They ended up comping me my drink though.

>>18291650
Same. I legit get grossed out even when people order venti lattes — venti and trenta fraps are so fucking gluttonous. Really another more than a tall of any sugary drink is insane. Especially every single fucking day

>>18291859
Imagine trusting some third world serf alone with your food. You people are retarded

>>18292541
Pretty sure it had more to do with a malicious group building up false-flags and political rapport over decades with one of their schemes being an engineered pandemic that led to a reduction of freedoms with side-effects including, but not limited to, disruption of normal life in a modern consumerist era.

>>18291857
real ice cream consists of cream, milk, egg yolks, and sugar, which makes it one of the purest and best digesting foods available; it's highly nutritive, it stabilizes blood-glucose levels, and a handy comparison would be a glass of milk, two eggs, and a coffee with sugar and cream for breakfast. shit-fil-a ice cream on the other hand starts with milk and water and is then pumped full of unhealthy food stabilizers like carrageenan.

>>18292594
The colonizers have become the colonized. This is the last thing they wanted!

>>18292235
It's always been this bad, people have always been insane.

>>18291859
People I work with order uber eats and door dash all the time while constantly bitching about the cost and service. In house delivery was shit enough as is.

>>18292835
I wonder how many loogies the average white urbanite has eaten since the start of memeflu

>>18291403
Mobile ordering is fine for pickup, but delivering? Not worth it. The only time I used doordash/Uber eats/grubdub religiously was when I didn't have a car, drivers license, and any of the fees that came with it. I could afford delivery and for good reason.

Now? Nah, unless there is a deal for a good price, no delivery for me. I just order for pickup from the store directly or go in person. Having car loan, insurance and gas to pay for and getting delivery is something people living paycheck to paycheck do.

>>18292276
i like going out in public and checking out the cuties in their little work clothes though. if you can get an ADA bot to make those deliveries then I won't mind at all.

>>18293174
I'd rather just jerk off at my house while my order's getting brought to my door than look at a girl in person while not masturbating at a restaurant.

>>18292723
They probably just lost your ticket, it's 3 frenzied 17 year olds, ex-cons and druggies, it happens

>>18292253
They refunded it in credits and I reorded it and some Asian dude got here in 20 minutes but the restaurant made the wrong order

>>18292930
I had a friend from s*attle in a game I played that would order 1k+ in ubereats and still spend 500 on regular meals every month and not see anything wrong with it

>>18293185
agree to disagree

>>18293362
if you're single and make good money who cares. if you work for a big tech company you could bring home 10k/mo not even starting on bonuses

>>18293378
>spend 10% of your income on goyslop

>>18292864

>>18291403
It's not that I prioritize them.
I go straight down the list of tickets in sequence.
The problem is it's possible for like 10 online orders to suddenly pop up out of nowhere like 20 seconds before your's gets put into the system by the cashier, and there's not a damn thing I can do about that.

>>18292835
im a hikki, delivery services are mandatory. im not leaving my house

I don't know where everyone's getting all this money to keep these restaurants in business. All their prices are a minimum of 40% higher than they were Pre-2020 and it was already pretty pricey for everything outside of the goyest of slop. On top of that the quality is lower and you are last in line over mobile orders 100% of the time.

>>18292547
You’re part of the problem and embody everything wrong with the world today. Fucking autism man

>>18292520
>I hate it just cause i absent mindedly plate stuff up on plates most of the time, only to re-read the order and realize its actually a pickup
I think you might just be bad at your job anon. And a little slow.

>>18291560
NigJuans killed it. Reinforce dress codes and other codes of conduct at high-end restaurants. Delivery services are just another nail in the coffin. Hell, Groupon and entitlement programs have probably done more damage than DildoDash and JewberEats.

>>18294266
>Reinforce dress codes and other codes of conduct
It's easier to say no basketball americans.

>>18293555
top lel

>>18294266
We get it, you hate niggers.

>>18291403
they never make it in time and you have to end up standing there like a fucking idiot for 20 minutes while 100 people pick up their order before you

>>18291684
>>18291403
They prioritise online orders because they know that, unlike fickle online consumers, the people that physically come to their establishments are literal addicts for their processed sneed garbage. This is only possible because we are talking about chains (lmao @ Americans with your soulless suburbias), rather than a mom and pop restaurant with one (1) location.

>>18292845
>being extra cautious while dealing with a quickly mutating virus we’ve never seen before that has killed millions
>”engineered pandemic”
>”da joos”
Please tell me what freedoms have we lost? Oh no, private businesses are allowed to mandate that you must wear a mask while inside? We’ve become slaves!

>>18291859
The only delivery services you should use are a restaurant's in-house delivery service, and a grocery delivery service if you're too lazy to go shopping. Every one of these subcontractor gig economy fucknuggets like doordash, grubhub, etc. upcharge out the ass and take obscene amounts of time to get your food delivered.

>>18291859
Uber is much better,they have higher standards for drivers

>>18295967
or it could be that, oh i don't know, the online orders have already been paying d for?
the weight of the situation; use your head, man.

>>18291403
who the fuck mobile orders a coffee?

how retarded do you have to be to do that more than once instead of just buying a latte machine

>>18296026
I agree with this. DoorDash has beem awful everytime. Uber meanwhile is a lot more pro-customer / anti-wagie. They used to not even allow tipping which was based.
Also UE gives you more visibility into what the driver is doing. You see them on radar the entire time. And they don't start and then cancel your order a half hour later after it changes hands three times like DD seems to do constantly (probably because they don't penalize cancels as much and drivers bail when the tip's too low and the food isn't immediately ready).

>>18295967
>soulless suburbias
Let me guess, you’ve seen one picture of a designer suburban neighborhood with cookie cutter plastic houses and assume that this is every suburb? Pic is suburban Philadelphia. Brick housing, small mom and pop stores, small farms scattered about and all within a 30 minute drive of the city.
