People get addicted to delivery apps cause it lets you pretend you're on vacation all the time (lemmy.world)

it feels similar in egregious price to getting room service, and you don't even have to talk to the guy, and you can convince yourself it's nice to treat yourself you've been working hard etc etc. you don't have to do any dishes or think about all the rotten shit in the fridge. it can feel like a legitimate mental break, horribly

i've worked too too many years doing delivery and honestly on good days it feels like being on vacation , just out there driving around somewhere peaceful without a boss over my shoulder

but whenever i actually order the garbage myself too much it can lead to a crazy period of overspending. i already spent $30 on a burrito that sucked why not spend $20 on a film i know is good, etc etc
