I've never ordered DoorDash, Uber Eats etc other than at the office when I wasn't paying. I had a gift card given to me once and I still went and picked up the food

I don’t consider overpriced things a “convenience”. More like a waste

Boarding passes on phone.


Why? Just have both.


Smart play.

On flights that have diverted (weather) and/or are delayed, sometimes your digital boarding pass will disappear. I 've seen that twice with United and once with Delta. If its late or you are at a regional airport that probably means going to the main ticketing desk then back through security.

Good idea to have both.

I honestly think it’s a pretty big deal. I’ve never gone into a Best Buy, etc and had an interest in a computer. Between smart phones and company resources. Never had the need.

Food delivery(DoorDash, Uber Eats). If I order food, I’m picking it up.


I'm not convinced this is a convenience.

I’m not getting all the delivered food comments. Yes, I get that it’s expensive and arguably a waste if done often, but do a lot of you just never want to relax for a night every so often and order delivery?

It’s a way for people who think going to Destin is an elite vacation spot to feign moral superiority on the internet. Bizarre behavior.

** I never order Uber eats if I’m paying for it

Anything that creates convenience by inconveniencing me in other ways:

Electric lawn equipment: having to keep up with battery charging as opposed to just adding gas.

Smart appliances: anything that focuses on electronics more than basic function will have issues soon and often.

Social media: friendships become shallow and meaningless if they lack face to face.
