As Reagan aid, the most terrifying words in the world are "I'm from the government and came to help you (for a huge price)."

[@jaegerbomb269]

"Government," always making things worst.

[@pegeta]

Biden?

[@enforcerridley158]

[@raumograeywolf5477]

Maybe the people will learn that all government "aid" follows this pattern, and once they have suffered enough they will learn and not soon forget. Their funeral.

[@thefool8224]

they forgot the S after the "aid" part

[@RiptoGakt]

Most of them would, but some people just never will. In other words, natural selection, where Death comes to collect.

[@wrongthinker843]

They had over 200 years of US history to learn, not to mention world history. They're not gonna learn.

If the government actually wanted to help delivery drivers they would have lowered taxes. But instead they artificially increase what theyre paid, so they can collect more taxes. Except it doesnt work that way and all they did was kneecap another industry. "There is no free lunch." - Thomas Sowell

[@user-tr3wf4bw2l]

To quote Reagan: the scariest nine words in the English language is “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”

[@allster0crowly]

Again, another person cutting the quote short, I'm is not count twice in the original quote, the original quote was "Hello, I’m from the government and I’m here to help", it had a double meaning the first is the one most people see, the second is that he stressed both Hello and Help, making it a bit more clear. Nine individual words totaling ten in the sentence, it creates a false statement but also a true statement, depending on how it is viewed much like the government itself or politicians.

[@Crosshair84]

At what point do people realize that they can cook food at home? A George Foreman is $50. A slow cooker is similar. The only food I eat that I don't cook is Sunday breakfast with family. I completely skipped this DoorDash trend and don't feel like I'm missing out.

[@pegeta]

I been having a blast making custom tacos and meals

[@kingnothing5678]

Id rather just go and get the food over paying a $5 fee before tip

[@chuck8094]

This is old news, but...half of what you pay for a plumber, an electrician, a barber, and an air conditioner repairman is covering the cost of fees, licenses, insurance, and permits. I worked without government permission for 36 years, charging half of what a licensed company would have to charge. How did I get away with that? By doing quality work. I never had a complaint in 36 years. That's why I never got caught.

[@nerdicusdorkum2923]

You, and others like you are why businesses want regulations. Thankfully your customers were able to see past all the 'loicense' bullshit.

[@Thane36425]

By having their own delivery people, the places may actually save money. I read a couple of years ago that the delivery apps cut into the profits of a lot of places. Not a lot of margin in most restaurants anyway.

[@linhero797]

I highly doubt they cost businesses more money. Given they give access to a larger audience and at no cost to the business itself. It makes no sense for it to be any other way in fact the more I think about it. Of course there likely is one way that it costs businesses more money to have more people in staff. That being the businesses were getting some sort of benefit from having the delivery drivers, in either free money or cut taxes. Which is just an example of why taxes need to be heavily cut and simplified.

[@Delimon007]

My guy, they are pushing those costs onto the consumer. That's not costing them ANY money to get into that market. They charge them to use that service so they just pushed that extra charge onto the consumer.

[@MetaLord395]

The gubbernment hurts more than it helps. 😐

[@JodyBruchon]

The real minimum wage is 0. I cook at home now. I am not coming back.

[@bobshea6523]

The drivers were losing money before this law was passed.

[@midcoregamer7625]

Nothing happens in a vacuum. These lawmakers need to consider how people would react to a bill before they sign it into law.

[@Surteronarto]

with the government you always gotta read the fine print, they meant to help drivers become homeless

[@carlrood4457]

It's idiotic to do this in NYC where nearly any type of food is a 5-10 minute walk in any direction. Convenience has a low price ceiling.

[@movespammerguyteam7colors]

You just destroyed an industry to legalize Uber Eats’ ENSHITTIFICATION even further. This is why I order from the restaurant directly and pay for delivery or order double to hit the minimum and have 2 meals.

[@pathfinderlight]

Back in the day, delivery places USED to have to hire their own drivers. Tipping was fairly common because everyone knew drivers need to cover their gas. Places always had coupons so people always thought they were getting a good deal. In comes Silicon Valley with their driver pool aps, which brings in a new set of clientele, that doesn't know how to tip, and that doesn't allow drivers to skip orders. Nowadays, busybodies say "tipping culture is abusive/stress inducing/violent/exploitative/whatever" and are busy legislating what THEY think their optimal solution is. Do you want REAL solutions? Draft a law to illegalize penalizing drivers for passing over low-tip orders, and give it some teeth. Also, draft a law to limit the percentage the app company can keep for overhead, and MAKE them give the rest to the employee. Also, explicitly make tips tax exempt. Rather than standard payments, these more flexible laws are going to allow people to sort out the market for themselves.

[@Archedgar]

How about make tipping illegal altogether? boom problem solved.

[@ssdcatracho77]

I agree to make tipoing tax exempt but don’t agree with you giving more to employees.

[@NoSirNotTodayOrTomorrow]

I choose sushi over fast food every time, it healthier. Not fried in cheap oil or made with heavily processed meat/chicken/fish. I go with snow crab & mix in kewpie mayo, avocado & cucumber. It comes out well, making it from home is way cheaper.

[@capo4270]

It's mind boggling honestly I gotta believe a small customer base are potheads with the munchies

[@nervosadustbolt9642]

Oh, yeah... I want to pay for raw fish, when I can go fish some. Who gives a shit, what's healthier. I'm not saying going nuts, but try living once and a while too. I don't know about you, but when I die... I want to be sick, not healthy. Even if you're healthy at 90, you're still healthy, while fighting against the clock. No amount of Health is going to save you. And, even if you did live to be 100+. What would that quality of life be for you? You'd be barely able to move, not to mention.. Everybody and everything you ever knew is long since DEAD.

[@ssdcatracho77]

Sushi is not healthy. I don’t know where you came up with that.

[@NoSirNotTodayOrTomorrow]

​@@nervosadustbolt9642 I do spoil once in while but I cook it all myself. This weekend I used all 11 herbs & spices supposedly used in the original KFC recipe for a chicken sandwich. It came out well, I fried the chicken breasts in olive oil. It's a lot of work but it comes out the way I like it. I'll still be cooking at hundred.

[@NoSirNotTodayOrTomorrow]

@@ssdcatracho77 Depends how you look at it. The sushi I make isn't made with anything super processed. The ingredient list is simple & very short. It's mostly organic & wild caught stuff. The freeze dried wasabi & soy sauce is the exception to that but it's very much needed to enjoy the sushi in my opinion. I wouldn't eat this everyday but I think if I needed to spoil my self I would choose this over Mc Donald's offerings. They load up everything with salt & sugar to make it hard to resist. Far more than I'm comfortable with, all super processed with huge list of things I can't pronounce.

[@mgatelabs]

It’s cheaper to just call in orders and pick it up yourself, no app extra price

[@dragonknightleader1]

I do not understand the psychology of the Ubereats customer. They pay massive premiums for fast food when they could have gotten it themselves.

[@CoryRwtfyt]

​@dragonknightleader1 I've only used ubereats/doordash when I'm at work, hungry, can't leave, and someone took my lunch.

[@mgatelabs]

@@dragonknightleader1 my only valid use case would be I’m staying at a hotel and don’t have a car, then it makes sense to splurge a bit. And I just stayed in a hotel for a week, and ordered food every day, from five guys, every lunch, and just picked it up myself, since I had a car. But if I took the family to NY, I would deliver food.

[@sharkdentures3247]

Eventually there will be no companies in America and will have to buy games and shows from overseas if we want any real entertainment at all. I haven't bought a new video game and probably 4 years and haven't watched anything made in Hollywood and at least 15.

[@haraldbredsdorff2699]

Na, this is going to crash, long before that. If Us falls, the rest of the world will have a economic collapse over night. China is importing rice from USA to feed their own population. Europe is living of the commodities and protection US give. Middle east goes back to barbarism overnight, if they no longer can sell oil to the West. South and central America only survive on selling to the West. And Africa only survive based on the "free" aid from the west. When USA collapses, the rest of the world follow as a house of cards. No internet, no safe banking, no safe trade as pirates will bloom ones more. And we will use the next 50 years rebuilding, if we are lucky. On the positive side, and the socialists who have been living of the west like parasites the last 150 years, will collpase too. So at least their is that.

I love Red Baron pizza. Tombstone is another favorite of mine.

[@Phobos11]

Truly, few things are so scary to hear compared to "We're from the government, we're here to help"

[@TomKayito]

pro tip for frozen pizzas: The crust is serviceable for most of them, the sauce is okay. The biggest drawback is they skimp on cheese (and sometimes toppings). I keep a bag of pepperoni (from the fridge section) tossed in my freezer, and a bag of shredded cheese. Toss just a bit of extra cheese on, add more toppings optionally. That little bit extra turns a mid-frozen pizza into a pretty darn good one.

[@Pariatech]

Maybe people should start learning to cook for themselves. It's not hard

[@jpteknoman]

The worst thing that happened to our world is professional politicians. If the requirement was to have worked at least 15 years in an actual job before you are eligible to be voted into any office and you had a max of 3 terms before having to go back to your old job, things would have been so much better.

[@orenmontgomery8250]

3:50 Maybe 1 out of the 10 people who wanted Chinese delivered decided they'd just go to the restaurant instead to avoid the fees.

[@Mr.Doodlebob]

seattles $5 fee for delivery drivers and I guarantee DSP will still order every meal, he’s actually helping people for once

[@carlrood4457]

$20 an hour? I wouldn't tip then.

[@doctorgames101b]

Here in NYC, when you use the delivery apps like Door Dash, New Yorkers have to pay a $2 regulatory fee every order placed. That takes away from the tipping and more towards City of New York government's doings.

[@carlrood4457]

Except for right after my knee surgery, I'm glad I never fell for the food delivery scam. I never even had pizza delivered which predates all the services. I can drive the five minutes and pick up my food.

[@theUnknown-oz9dh]

Yeah, frozen pizzas make up a pretty big part of my diet! They're a mixed bag though; some are really good, some...not so good!

[@DouglasIII368]

Two cities that came up with this are just a microcosm of why both cities going down.

[@delanorrosey4730]

For the amount of time and money spent on these delivery systems, I can go get myself AND buy more product.

[@KaeYoss]

Entertainment spending is cut before fast food spending. The reason is that there are ways to get that entertainment without paying for it. But you wouldn't download a Big Mac...

[@MaxIzrin]

"The purpose of a system is what it does."

[@KaeYoss]

9.99 with free shipping looks better than 4.99 with 5 bucks shipping. On the other hand, if you have one option of 19.99 with free shipping and another with 4.99 plus 10 for shipping, beware! It might be intentionally broken garbage. You send it back and get your money back - but not the shipping fees. They actually just paid like 2 bucks for shipping and then pocket the other 8.

[@mikkelnpetersen]

One of *THE* most scary sentences in the english language: "I'm from the goverment and i'm here to help"

[@HenshinFanatic]

People always forget the unspoken 10th word, "myself".

[@denkerbosu3551]

People can cook, they just order delivery because they have the money to afford it. That's why they don't ask for delivery or dine outside every day: it's too expensive!

[@domomitsune5920]

Good going, food delivery was already expensive as hell. This new fee is only going to make it more impossible for people to restaurant delivery. You're better off driving to the location and ordering the food without all these extra fees and tip.

[@KaeYoss]

All the government meddling aside, these people order in food (or go pick it up) daily and then complain that they don't earn enough. FFS

[@jamoecw]

The food itself in a restaurant is the cheaper cost in the price of the meal. Giving more food is an easy way to boost the value of the meal, but people tend to take home the remaining part of their meal and then eat out less since they can eat the left overs for other meals. It is a balancing act, but if wages go up and you want to keep prices down the obvious solution is to make bigger meals since things are going to cost more no matter the size, but with a bigger meal the customers get their value still. The only reasons meals shrink is bad publicity, poor planning, or a customer base getting wealthier.

[@DARKthenoble]

I'm going to be honest. To me this looks like they passed this law to try and make the delivery business they invested money into look more appealing. Its a bit like the mid wage law in California. They made a bunch of com block soviet era apartments but every single one was empty because they wanted 2k a month for it.
