    Some people have food delivered because they have disabilities. Some have deliveries because they are under influence of alcohol or medications.

    First time I ever had Burger King delivered was in Bahrain. That was in 2005. The U.S. didn’t start across the board deliveries through apps until about 2015ish. If I recall correctly. It is expensive no doubt.

      These people with disabilities must be made of money and didn’t exist prior to delivery services

        I mean, yeah, some disabled people do make a lot of money or have upper middle class family who won’t miss the ordering out money. And if you’re disabled and on SNAP you can be eligible for them to go towards hot meals (ie, restaurant meals and hot prepared foods) rather than only groceries.

        They still existed before you thought about them, they just either used local delivery through the restaurant instead of Doordash or relied on someone else to prepare food for them.
