Chinese and pizza were the only places you could be sure would deliver. Grocery deliveries, outside of charities that were not well known, were expensive enough to make doordash look like a charity.
Now if you go back a century or so, you might be able to phone the local General store and have little Jimmy bring a box of stuff for you, but little Jimmy is in the home now, and those times have been long gone before either of us were born.
Really? I used to order subs as a child often. Guess it depends where you where. Here in Canada things are spaced out when not in city’s and maybe that made delivery more common?
Point is still that places like DoorDash and the like are not positives for communities overall and the extra costs while paying less to drivers is causing real harm.
