It’s like they have no understanding of what their job actually is. If they thought about it at all, they would realize they fucked up… or it’s intentional?

One of the parcel delivery drivers in my area does that. Usually I can get whatever parcel is on the doorstep to shift enough (without damaging it) to squeeze out the front door, but I'm expecting at some point to have to go out the back door because the parcel blocking the front door will be too heavy!

Why didn't he ring the bell and handed the order to someone? Whenever I order something, whether it's food or a package, the delivery guy always waits for me to open the door to hand it to me. When I'm not at home they deliver it to my neighbors and leave a note in my mailbox.

More money than sense.

Shit like this is way more common than you realize. Here where I am near Boston there are countless people who come into all manner of fast food places to just pick up food to deliver to people. Oftentimes there are more delivery drivers picking things up than in person orders. It's wild. They usually double park with their hazards on or slide into a handicap spot to boot, and they'll absolutely bypass the line and ask the workers even though there's a long queue ahead of them.

Meanwhile everyone says they can't afford to save up for housing and that they don't make enough money to do anything.... and then they'll go grab their delivery with a 30% upcharge and a tip on top from outside where a driver dropped it off.

The pandemic escalated this trend from an uncommon oddity with a decent price (because pre-pandemic it was largely VC subsidized) but around 2021 the fees were cranked up to 11 and payments to drivers went through the floor.

I did this twice:

1. I was very drunk and had Dairy Queen delivered. I was immediately ashamed when I saw the bill and hid all the evidence from my wife in shame. Would not recommend. It was over twice the cost.
2. I was in a rush for a trip, the car had issues so I needed to get a rental the morning of, and I didn't have time for breakfast or to stop at a fast food restaurant. So I made the horrible choice of getting junk food delivered while I got ready. Overall not a horrible choice, but I wouldn't recommend it.

The economics of delivering fast food are awful.

Genericizing trademarks takes value away from brands. It's good.

Please place the used facial tissue in the steel waste receptacle....nobody has ever talked like this. You say Kleenex in Dumpster. You Hoover up a spill. You Bing your search. You shamwow literally anything.

But that's not even what's happening, they literally had actual Dunkin delivered by actual door dash.
