Fast food's too expensive even without delivery expenses these days. Makes me sad.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I went to Chick Fila to get the pimento cheese and chicken sandwich.

I got the combo. Comes with fries and a drink.

$13 and change.

Got 2 double cheeseburgers and a coke at mcds, $12

That used to be less than $6. Like 5 years ago.

It's more and more expensive to fund bigots these days

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. Let's not judge others by the food they eat, that doesn't do anything but divide us further.

[–] explodicle@local106.com 11 points 2 years ago

That phrase applies more to things you can't reasonably stop consuming, like plastics.

There are a few exceptions where there's one capitalist producer who is significantly more divisive than the alternatives, and switching costs are extremely low.

Might as well buy blood diamonds and clothes made by child slaves. No ethical consumption derp durrrr hurrrr I so smart

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, Subway is the worst! Why are you buying it?

+$10 for pretty much every meal now. I guess fast food is trying to curb American’s fast food addiction by pricing them out of it.

How the hell do people afford this lifestyle.

[–] penguinsAreRapists@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They don't. That's why there's souvh credit card debt

[–] _number8_@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (6 children)

i don't know why people need to shame each other for succumbing to the desire to Purchase when our entire society is designed to encourage it

[–] ComfortablyGlum@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 years ago

While at the same time telling us to stop buying daily coffees and making avocado toast. Just another way to fuck us up.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

It's not so much trying to shame, it's more like when one moth is telling his friend the other moth not to go into the light.

[–] GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Because getting into debt for treats and shitty mcnuggies is bad (?)

It hasn't taken long for advertisers to find Lemmy.

If db0 let an actual advertiser on our instance I'm sure they'd be nuclear pissed

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anybody can post here, even advertisers.

[–] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm aware. Judging by OPs history and the fact they're dbzer0, a piracy and anarchy instance, I doubt it's uber would want their name associated bvvqqqqq. I was mostly joking anyway.

I checked the other day and McDonalds was charging $3.49 per hash brown on one of the delivery apps.

That was as far as I got before boiling water for oatmeal.

The fast food worker seeing a door dash order pop up on the screen 5 minutes before closing

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You can setup availability times in the merchant portal. If this has happened to you, it's because of your shitty management.

i can't tell if i'm too old now or what but over the last year i've gotten insanely radicalized against corporatism and can't stand seeing brand names anywhere. i remember sometimes i'd use them in normal posts, but reading others do it really makes it sound like an ad

[–] AnyProgressIsGood@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not double the price of your order and get it slower

Go home Uber eats ad team.

TIL Jean de la Fontaine also wrote smut.

[–] TheControlled@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Paying triple is good enough reason for me. Haven't used it since the lockdown.

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There should be a chastity belt on Uber Eats with a dollar sign for a keyhole.

The thought of giving Uber any money usually loses me my appetite anyway

[–] Solaris1789@jlai.lu 10 points 2 years ago

And even if i somehow give in theres no world where im affording it

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you don't have one already you should get a slow cooker. Super easy to make all sorts of meals, just chuck some stuff in it in the morning and come back some time later to a delicious hot meal.

[–] Parent@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago
[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, I'd love to watch a car drive to different restaurants and deliver to other houses while my food is getting cold on their passenger seat instead of just getting it myself. Fuck these delivery apps, it's always more trouble than it's worth.

[–] throwaway23592386685@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Uber Eats is not worth the money anymore. I haven't ordered in 6th months and haven't looked back.

[–] Wootz@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That style can only be Milo Manara.

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

thanks my friend will appreciate it

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Incredible potential for this format
