Why would I pay a $4 delivery fee for a place that's about a half mile away? And why does a "small order" necessitate a $2 fee?

I just wanted some Taco Bell while my car isn't working, but after all the fees and the tip, it almost triples the price of my order.

Just because you don't see the need for it doesn't make it a scam. It's there for people who want it.

Don't want to use it? Don't!

Because you're too lazy to drive that half mile.

Sounds like a scam to the driver then, not the consumer.

So, once again:

I love when I don't need to respond.

FYI: Shareholders are part owners, being a majority shareholder makes you the biggest owner.

half a mile is walking distance


Came in to say this. I walked 8 times that to work at a fast food place and a few times to get to the only 24 hour convienient store in town just for a pack of smokes or booze.

Half a mile is a joke unless you are way out of shape

I am rather impressive with all the fat, disgustingly overweight Twitch streamers ordering so much garbage delivery while streaming. I mean, we can see you're a fat fuck, might want to be a little less conspicuous about it.

But hey, if idiots want to use that service because they're lazy assholes, it's their money to waste. Taking a walk and fetching the food would probably be healthier for them in the long run.

Or hang around for 10 20 minutes after finishing the meal in the resturaunt.

Even in hot weather though half a mile isnt bad. I think i can walk that 6-8 minutes. Thats a rough estimate though never timed a half mile walk. I know ive done 4 miles though in 45 minutes to a hour depending on how much energy i had that day.

You realize most food delivery adds charges on top right?

If you order a pizza and have them bring it to you almost every pizza place will charge you $3-4 on top of what the food would have cost if you went to the place and picked it up. Acting like "Damn you fast food places you are ripping me off!" When every other place does it and has done it for in some cases decades is ridiculous.

We just have more food delivery options than ever before, 20 years ago the only places that delivered to your door usually were Pizza and Chinese Food.

True but I know some people want it as hot and fresh as possible. Im not one of those though. Hell i generally prefer the fries from a place to be atleast a few minutes old.

I do like to food to usually be fresh and hot. But if I was only a half a mile away from home and had to walk, I probably would. Plus, with this heat, itll still be hot. Not to mention, getting it delivered wouldnt be super fresh. And he did say he didnt want to walk with a full belly of Taco Bell in the heat. Haha.

No sarcasm, I'm impressed. I couldn't even imagine being able to do that. It takes me 30-45 minutes to do like 5-6 blocks. My joints are shit, but still.. I can't even imagine being able to do that.

Is that like something most people can do?

Ive read that the average walking speed in 3 miles an hour. Though, Im not sure how correct that is. Or if that takes in to account out of shape people, disabled people, etc. I know that Im not particularly fast, but I feel like I walk faster than that. Ive done a lot of walking and 3 miles an hour seems kind of slow. But I could be misjudging distances...

GoogleMaps estimates an average, able-bodied person can walk 1 mile in 20 mins, 3 mph. I can clear a walking mile in 12 minutes when exerting myself.

Yeah disabled too didnt consider that. And yeah that was 10 years ago though so Idk if I still could do that. If your joints bother you that walk would be hell for you as it was super hilly. My knee would bother me occasionally but not enough to make me slow down.

It's highly likely that a huge portion of the US population could not stand for an hour.
