    I live in a city where I have no family and just loose acquaintances. There have been times where I’ve been sick with the flu or a cold and these services are well worth the bloat and extra fees.

    OTOH -

    I watch my direct neighbors order coffee every week. These are people who when you go into their home they have very expensive coffee machines, plural, that they cannot stfu about. I’m like do you just never use the machines? Lol. They’ll also get home from errands, and ten minutes later food is delivered from around the corner. Bewildering. They have had a leaky roof and a busted fence for years now. Yes I am nosey but we share a side drive so I see everything even if I don’t want to lmao

      yeah same. i used it a lot when i’m sick or injured.

      but there are people who over-use it. I had a roommate 5 years ago who made about 40K a year, who was spending $500 a month in delivery food… and another $200 in delivery weed. And he talked a lot about how broke he was… this was a guy who also drove to work when his workplace was 10m walk away.
