I’ve only used them for deposits in the past 7-8 years.
How the fuck do I pay for this pizza? There’s no Submit button anywhere.
Oh, the panel on the right actually has a scrolling container within a scrolling container. Only when you realize the bottom/outer part also scrolls, do you realize there’s a freaking submit button. And of course we can’t ever have visible scroll bars, or even scrollbars that appear when you hover over the scrolling container, because ew gross.

It came in very handy when I had the covid.
Same here. Haven’t ever done pizza delivery either (not counting chipping in when others order). Always just picked it up myself.
I pick up my own pizzas as well. I like to arrive a minute or two early, so that it’s piping hot out of the oven. You can’t really get that with delivery. They have a tip jar at the counter, so I tip them a little bit anyway. I want them happy.
Only time I use delivery apps is when they’re tossing out 40% or 50% off promo codes, which brings the cost down to an actually palatable price.
I do most all my shopping to have it delivered. I pay a tip and the annual fee. Works out well for me. I hate grocery shopping so I eliminate 90% of that process for a nominal cost.
My shopping experience got demonstrably worse when stores stopped being open 24 hours, I would actually enjoy going into an empty store in the middle of the night. But I hate the crowds and the slowness of the whole process, just so I can check myself out.
- walk around a grocery store for 30 minutes plus pushing a cart.
- checking out your own groceries.
- taking your groceries to your car and loading your car.
- unloading your groceries from your car,
- put your groceries up.
I am thrilled to cut off numbers 1-4 and only have to do 5. Plus I find myself ordering groceries on a more regular basis as I don’t put off the unenjoyable experience.
I realize some people don’t mind any of those things and that’s fine. I dislike them all.

Ironically I get my groceries delivered but pick up my pizzas too because delivery fee plus tip is too much for what is provided. I might be a weirdo.
I’ll order delivered pizza in a pinch but only directly from the place that has its own delivery people.
I used to be a strictly delivered pizza guy until a Pizza Hut delivery guy started getting a little too familiar and freaked me out. Dude, you’re not my weed dealer, I’m not going to hang with you, give my pizza and go!

I could conceivably see myself using delivery for restaurant food once in a while, but for groceries there is just NO way. I’m too particular about what I buy for cooking.

I feel like if I’m gonna go thru the effort of getting in my car and driving, I want something nicer than a pizza (unless it’s Lou Malnati’s). Pizzas are for when we’re too lazy to cook or go out and the only work is going to the door
The only time I ever order delivery or pizza is when I’m debilitatingly hungover, as I was Sunday.
Pizza tastes good. Sometimes I want pizza.
First item up for bid last night on Price Is Right receives bids of something like $1600/$1750/$2000.
Fourth and final bidder yells out, “Twenty-five hundred!!”
Actual retail price: $2150.

I’ve seen them say “$1,999”. That’s right.
There are actual real people (I know a few of them) who would say bidding 2001 is bad etiquette there.
Thats crazy to me. Its a game, you have last bids. Bid whatever you want, its how the game is played. You stood outside at 5 in the morning for hours just to get inside and then won the lottery by getting called up and youre gonna throw away your shot at tens of thousands of dollars over ettiquette?
Blah

I’d feel bad enough to do that to someone that it would make me never want to get up there as a contestant in the first place.
It only really harms them if it’s the last game.
Otherwise, they get to have last position in the next round.
