If another restaurant with a listed number in the phone book or their website refuses to answer the phone once I've paid for an order online and for delivery, I'm putting a brick in the bag, duct taping said bag to my bullbar, and driving into said fictional places.

What the fuck?

Service + Delivery fees?

What's the fucking difference between going to a counter, ordering, you waiting longer than one should wait... as opposed to them getting a digital order paid upfront, with a delivery address to boot?

It fucking does my head in, yet... when I call these assorted and listed numbers, they're barely ever up to date...and even then, straight to Voicemail (they never return your call no matter how polite you are), or just a beep beep beep beep nothing burger.



I'm over it completely now.. these motherfuckers do whatever they fucking please. There's no truth in advertising anymore. They are scum.

I will be 100% cooking for myself here on in.

Fuck them.

Die die die die an extremely public financial death, I say.

I mean what's the fucking service between plopping something into a fucking paper bag and then getting some smelly Indian or Pakistani to drop it off at your house 5-55 minutes AFTER YOU ORDERED even if they're a 3-4 minute trip away?

Shit is never warm... drinks never very cold... hell, half the time these invalid drivers manage to tip over the drinks, which flow into the food bags, which break just as you're entering your door and they're 200 metres up the road..

The one time I caught one of these lazy fuckers trying to drop food off without entering the property gates or placing the food higher than where the young pup on the chain could very quickly get to it, I ran out to his car...threw my hands up in the air and said "what, the fuck, are you doing?"

He called me racist because of that.

Some import coward afraid of hard work and puppies called me racist.

So, yeah... then... I was as racist as FUCK. He's giving me the bird... I'm charging his car.... making little dick gestures at him with my fingers... then he went off in a racist tirade against Aussies... and I had to stop him because I ain't racist, Aussie, or prone to letting room temperature cumin skins talk shit.

I literally shit you not...

That same dude showed up to deliver food for the first time in months a few minutes ago, patted the dog, asked for no fights, and we shook hands...

All could have avoided the first time if he read the fucking order slips on the bag (ie. "Lacey is a nutty pup, she barks, she leaps, she loves any kind of animal, but she doesn't like or understand her chain")

 

Fucking karma... 

 We used door dash for Chinese for this Chinese place we love and my man does it without telling me ahead of time because I bitch about the money.

 When he orders food for dinner from this place it's 208 bucks with door dash. Where normally it's only 160 something.

 It's goddamn ridiculous.

Door Dash, Skip The Dishes, they all have the same fees. There are still a few Italian and Greek places you can call and place a delivery order. They are cheaper than food deleivery services.

Thats what I tell my older kids and mom...the fucking pizza sux bawlz. I wonder if its because all grocery stores are Publix?

I've never had delivery for ANY food since back in the 90's when I got pizza delivered sometimes. I'd sooner eat broken glass than trust my food to some delivery asshole...hell, I barely trust the cunts making it!
