After this evening’s soccer practice, my kids wanted to hit up McDonald’s. We let them get fast food 2 times per month, so I caved.

The drive thru was wrapped around the building, so I went in while they sat in the truck.

They didn’t have anyone working the registers, so I ordered at the self order kiosk. About 10 mins into my wait, I struck up conversation with the other 3 people who were also waiting. They were ALL THREE door dash runners. I said something like ‘people are for real willing to pay for fast food to be delivered?’ Yep…they pay around $1 extra per individual item to DD and then a tip which goes to the driver.

So a McD’s combo is probably $9…then add $3 DD fee and a $5 per combo tip, that’s $17 for a burger combo.

Where does this madness end?

There is nothing like having $100 worth of Mickey D’s delivered to your doorstep as you flip through football games on Saturday.

Maybe if there was no line at McDonalds this thread would make sense. You’re the one waiting with a line wrapped around McDonalds while those guys sit and home and jack it to pictures of Whitney Van.

You didn’t want to provide your children a healthy meal, instead you were willing to wait well over 10 minutes for McDonalds, was this the part that illustrates the laziness of Americans?

And they are willing to pay for shitty, soggy, room temp food.

Sounds like you’re the lazy one for making your kids eat fast food instead of cooking them a decent meal.

A lazy person judging slightly lazier people. Gotta love it

Those delivery services are a rip off and the food is never as good. Unless you’ve been drinking, make the 5/10 minute drive and pick it up.

People are lazy all around

My sil owns a pizza place

Her drivers can make 300 in a 8/9 her shift. Slow days they still take in 150/175

They get mostly repeat customers
People not only tip well, they apparently never cook

It’s crazy

On top of that they make minimum wage
And mile reimbursement

Have you never been drunk at home and in need of McNuggets and fries?

Well excuse me Mr. Fancy Doesntliketodrinkanddestroyhisbody.

Some of us try to not drink and drive while we’re getting fat(ter).
