re: Millennials and Zoomers, explain to me the benefits of ordering food on-line

I prefer phone because there are too many screwups BUT I will use the apps for fast food places such as CFA.

Millennials and Zoomers, explain to me the benefits of ordering food on-line Instead of by phone… and by phone I mean telephone… where you actually speak to a human at the restaurant.

Why did you type this thread online instead of calling me to tell me?

Additionally, a person might be able to give me some helpful info, like we’re out of lettuce, or the juice machine is down, or the daily specials, or if there is a cheaper coupon code available at a pizza joint, etc.

---

This is the only potential benefit, yet it’s HIGHLY dependent on the person on the phone knowing this information and having enough shits to give to share it with you. This is the same kind of place that I’m not likely to order using DoorDash either.

Also, I could tell an actual person that my office complex/building is secured and they can call me when they get to the gate and I’ll notify security. Or maybe tell them, “Hey my apartment is around in the back and doesn’t have a number on the door,” etc. You jokers would rather type all that shite out and hope it’s comprehensible rather than speak to a human being?

You’ve got it totally backwards. Somebody has to either type it out, write it down, or remember it. Would you rather own the responsibility of accurately writing it down or simply trust that some other joker on the other end of the telephone accurately heard you and accurately wrote it down? Let’s say you then make them go the extra mile by having them read your directions back to you over the phone (thanks by the way for adding more time and cost to the process that raises prices for everyone). Did that person type it, or did they handwrite it? If they typed it, then all you did was outsource the typing and added more time and expense to the process.

If they handwrote the directions, do you really want to trust the legibility of the handwriting or the delivery driver’s reading comprehension. Legibly recording it in app that accurately records exactly what you intended is the best way to optimize your odds of your efforts leading to intended results.

You ever follow somebody’s verbal directions Vs their written directions. Written is far better all day every day. You can even use poorly written directions to address the source of a problem.

You're probably the problem though. You're likely giving off the same negative energy that you're giving off on here. That's why you likely come off as creepy.

---

“Negative energy”? The only time I say anything negative to anyone is when they say something to me first. Unlike the OT trolls, I don’t go around looking for problems to start. But neither do I back off when someone says something to me. It’s telling you put it on me instead of those who actually start the negativity. Seems like you have selective outrage.

I'm not outraged at all. I'm saying that you give off a negative energy. You make plenty of negative comments about "millennials and zoomers" (as you did in this thread). You don't think that having these preconceived notions about groups of people gets subconsciously conveyed through your actions and conversations with them? I'd be willing to bet that it does.

I’ve found online orders to be more accurate since the folks making the food get it in written form.

BUT I always pick up. Food delivery is stupid unless you’re disabled.

I have a DoorDash subscription included as a perk on one of my credit cards. So for about $5-$10, I save myself a trip to the restaurant, time spent waiting for the food, and a trip back. Depending on where I’m ordering from, that’s easily 30-45m in total aggravation, not even counting gas/miles/etc on my car.

How little value do you place on your time?

That's where I'm at with it. It's free with a Chase Sapphire card. You have to tip, but he'll, I'd rather not be bothered with people and happily pay for it.

Here’s a prime example of what I was talking about. This Mingo douchebag daily follows me around to spout his bullshite. I never interact with this little turd but here he is again running his little cock sucker trying to start shite like he always does.

Where you at, Mo Jeaux? I don’t see you questioning his “negativity”.

Darth, almost every reply to me is calling me a millennial or zoomer that lives with my parents as an insult lumping that entire generation as unemployed no gooders living at home.

Your lack of self awareness is a sight to see

The key word in your post is “reply”. I never engage you. In fact I ignore you unless you first engage me. Wonder why my replies to you are negative? Look at what you say to me to start it all. If you don’t like getting negative replies from me, don’t go talking shite to warrant a negative reply.
