If you're spending 30 quid to get a takeaway delivered you're an idiot.

Most takeaways charge what, £2 at most for delivery? The meal itself is only around £20 if you're very very hungry.

You are getting utterly and completely ripped off, but if you're wealthy enough to throw that sort of money away so stupidly, who am I to stop you.

Traveling from the states to the UK, you folks have insanely cheap food. Like, it's nuts. I was shocked how little I had to pay for eating in restaurants. I would be mad, but really it boils down to what you said, us American's are being ripped off and we're saying thank you. Going to a restaurant now costs minimum $50 it seems, if you want an appetizer brace for at least $80 (excluding fast food, but that's come up too). Delivery my "average" went up to 80-90 for fucking 2 meals and and appetizer to be delivered. Fuck that, I'm not paying those costs.

Now our delivery services are crying asking why no one wants delivery as much as they did during covid.

Luxury of not having monopoly is cheap food.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
