I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)
They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app” is “bad vibes”
This is the moment that I finally realize that the Maoist cult was right all along.
Where is this from?
I think this is where it’s from. Just something someone came up with that caught on and became a meme here.
Thanks, truly the face of modern opression.
he spent more on doordash than I make in a year isn’t that fun
Dudes spending half a million Rand on DoorDash FFS. I know you can’t compare currencies and shit, but that’s enough for a large family to live comfortably in South Africa, in a nice suburban housing complex even.
First world excess really makes me angry for some reason lol.
They make their own food dork
Also imagine posting such a self own of your taste buds, I always eat at a hole in the wall ran by a Chinese grandma that berates me for not being a fatass and gives me free food
The best Chinese food is always in a dirty room somewhere with 90% elderly mah jong players and front of house that greet regulars by yelling “WHY ARE YOU HERE!?”
There used to be a Chinese restaurant (or what we call Chinese in Ireland, half of it was chips and curry) near me that had ridiculously cheap meals and the food was amazing. They only accepted cash and even though there was a dining area, the only people who ever sat there were the worker’s kids doing their homework. I came to the conclusion that it had to be a front for money laundering because the food was so good and so cheap
Now its being gentrified :(
Mob front restaurants are awesome. Some of the best pizza and sandwhich shops in Philadelphia in the us are fronts for the mob. Or were, 20 years ago, i haven’t been back in a long time.
I think the stereotype is that if there isn’t at least one kid doing homework you should re-consider eating there.
God, immigrant run restaurants. All the stories about doctors and engineers and skilled semastresses and on and on who were shut out of their porfession by racism and regulations so they started restaurants because it’s a relatively accessible way to get a small business up and running.
I know a Uzbek couple who were literally particle physicists in the SU and now run a restaurant.
she like, fusses over me like i was her kid, its adorable and i love her
also yeah all their food is in this series of layered mystery vats that are impeccably clean with a 100 rating that theyre very proud of. letting it roast in the juices makes it
its also apparently really low on labor, they just throw it all in the vat on monday and keep it simmering all week, tastes amazing. shes from like guangdong or something and used to run a communal kitchen there but moved to america when her kids moved here for university many decades ago. she hasnt been back to china in a long time so i showed her videos of her home town and she was shocked at the infrastructure changesIf an immigrant owned restaurant has negative reviews from entitled white people saying “service was poor” or “staff seemed rude” I’m immediately more inclined to go there tbh. Food is always top tier.

But once they bring out your order they disappear into the back. You gotta ring the bell for any kind of service
Lol I bet people whine about that all the time
Upper class Americans acting all
whenever the kindest soul from another country doesn’t understand the servitude culture in America where you’re expected to get on your knees and kiss the customers’ ass with a forced smile and an overly positive tone of voiceWord. God forbid you have to get up to fill your own water glass or something. Like i have nothing but admiration for food ninjas who just appear in your field of view to ask if you need anything then vanish when you blink, or who keep your glass full the whole meal but you never see them, but people shouldn’t have to work like that.
This is how I imagine all people who say they “don’t know how to cook” live
I’m neurodiverse and cant cook without support really? Other than like, pasta and scrambled eggs. Im sorta learning though.
But yeah I get delivery like once or twice a week and if my disaiblity staff and I cant cook a week itll be more. And I’m living on socsec.
You don’t need to feel insecure or anything if the situation doesn’t apply to you. I mean that in a nice way and don’t think you should feel ashamed at all if you’re in a bad spot right now. It’s enough that you’re trying to learn and do better.
Thanks. Idk why but these posts do make me feel insecure. I know when people here mock people like this they dont mean the neurodiverse but I still feel the need to remind them about us because I feel like we’re collateral damage.
It’s a normal thing to get food delivered, and especially normal if you’re disabled, but maybe excessive in some cases in the guy who spent $25k a year on it.
Maybe there are meal services that deliver food to disabled people in your area? You could possibly take advantage of that. If you would otherwise go with a restaurant I’d always recommend seeing if the restaurant itself offers delivery instead of using grubhub/doordash/etc. You often save money that way and also the driver will be paid better. And tip generously.
There’s a restaurant near where I live that does delivery through their website. I order and it turns out they outsource to doordash.
Most weeks me and my staff cook enough food for 6/7 days! Even if its the same thing every day it usually works ok. But also my stomach is not used to small portion sizes so i usually cook some pasta or something late in the day which isnt healthy :/ But Im working on it.
I try to get direct delivery from local places. I use doordash and grubhub for chains that dont deliver on their own.
maybe this is weird of me but i have nothing but contempt for people who regularly order doordash/grubhub. Something about paying some servant over an app to go buy your treats for you pisses me off
WHO THE FUCK DOORDASHES HOOTERS’ SHITTY GREASY SLOP?
I know people who order pizza from Chuck-E-Cheese? Who goes there for the food? You go for the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics
You go for the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics
That feel when you want the weird Star Wars arcade game and the scary animatronics but Chuck-E-Cheese is no more
Yeah those kinds of places can’t survive when working people have no disposable income. It’s part of what’s driving all the isolation and lonliness. All the free third places are long gone except libraries, and many of the paid third places are collapsing because there isn’t enough disposable income going around to keep them open. People stay home and doomscroll because they already paid for the phone plan and can’t afford to do anything else.

Wow that sucks. Do kids know that five nights at freddy’s was based on real places?

Not intentionally, Chuck E Cheese is a ghost kitchen that sells pizza and stuff under another name.
Dude probably doesn’t tip on that order and writes in “you got to
and I didn’t, there’s your tip” in the notes, so it’s actually saving money on the order vs other places.oh fuck this is true isn’t it
After reading about the guy going to prison multiple times for wage theft of his employees and how he would Venmo them $0.01 when the asked to get paid…
how many fucking fast food places are there in the US? you have one callled fat shack???
The list was actually cut off, so there’s more
Wicked Good Sandwiches
Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers
Bojangles’ Chicken 'n Burritos
Captain D’s Seafood Kitchen
Shipley Do-Nuts
Bubbakoo’s Burritos
This is like if that one Japanese baseball simulator generated names for American fast food places
Guarantee you those are ghost kitchens and have some of the worst slop known to man.
Freddy’s is a burger chain, Bojangles is a fried chicken chain, Shipley is a donut chain, and I don’t recognize the others. Mfer isn’t even ordering from a local restaurant, just fucking massive chains
yes yes consumer choices don’t make you moral/immoral
all i’m saying is that spending 3000 dollars at chilis is a death sentence, okay?
Yeah i’ll argue til I’m plue in the face against “communism is when you don’t have stuff” but some kind of intervention is needed here even before we get to eating at Chikfila.
that’s more than double my entire annual income
$1500 doordash from hooters
I can’t believe no one in this thread mentioned this guy was sued for wage theft of tens of thousands of dollars
Oh yeah now definitely :gulag: nail his ass to one or more walls.
Why on God’s green Earth would someone get Hooter’s delivered!?!? I hate the restaurant but it’s like buying alcohol to go from a strip club. Being there is the point!
Many people when I was growing up would joke “I just go there for the wings”.
This man actually does.

There is no god. Paradoxically, this is hell and we are being punished.
Imagine having enough money to not only have a very well equipped kitchen but also hire a part time private chef to prep meals for you and you spend five figures on garbage that poor people are stuck eating because they don’t have time to cook for themselves.
Lol and i think it’s fair to say that most poor people can’t even afford fast food anymore. A Big Mac is almost 10 bucks now. Like what?
$68.50 on doordash a day? for one person? also i find it hard to believe that someone would be ordering chili’s, applebee’s, and hooters when those are some of the worst quality food and people only go there to sit down
I dated a girl who told me she spent $600/month on take out and she was on a student’s budget.
Same. Big sushi order 2-4 times a month. Granted they didnt have a car so.
I used to be embarassed about my sushi habit in college and it was like 60$ every 3-4 months. Man, i miss those nights. We were all so young and dumb and horny and sushi was new and cool. We thought we were so cool in our “fancy” thrifted clothes (back when thrifting was cheap) that didn’t really fit, driving beater old cars downtown. It all seems so quaint looking back but at the time it was just amazing being alive.
I still religiously hunt for good sushi and deals for it. Before covid I found a place that still did really good, unique, specialty rolls for $15 and had a happy hour section of also based rolls that were $5. I mean this is a place that still insists on putting asparagus into rolls and it works so fucking well. Good sushi/seafood IMO is one of those foods that money really does make the difference for, compared to steak or cocktails.
Happy hour sushi makes for such a great cheapish date. Ugh I miss dating.
hold up have you even met americans?
$68.50 in door dash is what, $30 of food at menu price before fees and tip?
Which is still high, a hole in the wall restaurant is usually like 20 dollars per person and I usually tip my old Chinese grandma waitress/cook half that because I love her
The column header says sum of subtotal, I think this is before fees, tax, and tip.
A lot of people have appalling taste, often just for lack of options or experience. You wouldn’t believe the shit Minnesotans eat on purpose even though they don’t have to.
