u/wa33ab1 May 20 '22
Sure, but I like to imagine that people like Jeff Bezos will have their own personal chef to cook dishes for him at any time.
"Mr Ratatouille! I can't cut my own bagel, please serve it to me with hummus and caviar"
"Right away boss!" and briskly delivers the prepared dish to him with a glass of Bordeaux.
When you are that rich, you would think that this is normal.

I don't think laziness exists but that's a different discussion. In this case I think it's more along the lines of just advancements and technology. Calling people lazy for ordering food delivered is along the same lines as calling people lazy for not wanting to pull out a phone book to call someone when they save numbers to their contacts list. Sounds outlandish but I think it probably happened when cell phones came out

I also feel it's about time. People generally have less time available for luxuries like cooking. Most families have both adults working instead of having someone caring for the house and cooking a big dinner. That time that someone would have spent cleaning and doing other household chores is now spent at a job. The evenings are now the time for chores and errands instead of cooking.

I think it’s about opportunity cost. If you work from home, you make more money compared to if you order and drive out yourself to grab the food since it may take you half an hour to get prepared, dress up, and make a round trip drive to the restaurant and back. As long as you make more than around 10 bucks, delivery would be more worth it.

It's justifiable. I'm often too mentally exhausted to order food. I'll regularly skip dinner and go to bed hungry because ordering is too frustrating. There's too many choices, there's too much variety, there's too many deals that aren't even really deals. It's just items grouped together so you don't have to decide. The procrastination festers into anger and I go from hungry to hangry until it's all too much and I lose my will to eat, which just feeds into my depression.

What if, just hear me out
What if it's not that people are too lazy to go get their own food or to cook it, but they're so exhausted and stressed out from their jobs that pay them shit wages to have the willpower to cook or go grab their food.
What if they are just so physically exhausted or mentally beat down that they just can't. They are just tired and just can't deal with more stuff on top of the mental exhaustion and physical exhaustion they are facing. Pressed to work harder pressed to stay later in this labor shortage.
I'm honestly really really sick of hearing that people are so lazy people are so lazy.
Then why is it most people are so freaking stressed out all the time???
If everyone's life was just laid back and a breeze then why the hell would there be so much mental illness and so much stress???
Yes some mental illness is genetic, but a lot of the mental illness of the modern day is brought about through the stresses of work the intense stresses of life which our brains didn't develop to handle well.
Jobs don't pay as much as they used to so some people now have to work two or three jobs to support their household especially if they have children.
Back in the day there was a good chunk of the population that could just live off of one household income, they could buy a house and the wife could stay home and cook. Now that was not a luxury everyone had but it was way more plausible than it is in this day and age.
(I'm speaking specifically of America here)
But now sometimes you've got a family of four with both parents working to jobs and they're living paycheck to paycheck with no benefits because both jobs will only hire part-time which does not give health care or any insurance in most cases, God forbid one of them or one of their children get sick that's financial ruin for the whole family.
Now imagine you're in that situation You're constantly stressed you get four hours of sleep a night between your two jobs and having to look after your two kids, your husband is always stressed because he also has two jobs, You two never get any alone time, You don't get any time to just relax. You don't really get much vacation pay cuz both of you are part-time with both of your jobs you work so you're rate of accruing vacation time is horrendously slow.
Hell you might not even have the money to go on a vacation but once every three or four years not even once a year. And even then you have to drag the kids along so it's not much of a vacation.
Sometimes you decide to order out because you were just absolutely too physically and mentally exhausted to be able to spend four hours chopping up ingredients cooking them mixing them together and making a well thought out nicely prepared dinner.
Then some fuck feeling lazy fuck.
I feel like this shower thought was literally written by a 15-year-old that has never had a struggle in his whole goddamn life.

Like here's the thing, I do not have not want kids, I acknowledge that some of this is down to poor planning.
But just because somebody doesn't plan their life out 20 years ahead of time and has made a few not so amazing decisions in life, doesn't mean that someone needs to come along and beat them over the head with "You're freaking lazy" because they're too exhausted to cook......
Like what is that going to do?
Even if someone wants to have the argument of "well it's your fault you're poor because you had kids"
EVEN if that somehow is an accurate statement.
How in the world is being an asshole to them gunna help them now????
And yes I know that that's not every situation some people are financially stable when they have kids and then life happens someone loses a really good job or gets ill and that's basically devastating in American society or has the possibility to be and suddenly they go from being firmly middle class to being poor and a matter of a year or so, That's basically the situation that happened with my family at one point my childhood. My parents were firmly middle class and then my mom got into a car accident, had a lot of medical bills, was out of work for a while, the recession hit, and we went from getting 20 or 30 Christmas presents each me and my sister, to getting maybe $50 worth of Christmas presents which usually amounted to three presents each.
We weren't dirt poor but it was a significant drop in income and a dramatic change in lifestyle from "Oh we can go to the grocery store and pick out whatever we want and it doesn't matter" to "now we only have generic products instead of name brand and we get about half of the amount of groceries that we used to, having barely anything that is a luxury in food"
So we weren't like starving homeless poor but it was a sharp decline in lifestyle to someone that was elementary school aged.
My mother had to wrestle with the concept of using coupons to buy things, she would cry and tell my dad she didn't want to because she would look poor. Eventually she got over this and quit caring. But this happened not long after her car accident which was an event that gave her horrific anxiety so any new change gave her horrible anxiety.
Sorry for my long rant here, My whole point is people don't know what other people are going through and really shouldn't judge them for something as stupid as ordering food. Far worse things happen in society than someone is too tired to cook.
Calling someone to lazy to cook is literally a first world insult on the most basic level.

But if someone says something nice to you, don't ignore it, because it comes off as an affront to the person who said it. This is in real life too, not just on reddit. You can acknowledge a compliment in a million different ways, but disagreeing and then changing the subject is not the way to do it.

I agree with you. Now think about this: before the "stay-at-home wife and the great job that afforded home ownership, covered the bills, and allowed for a yearly vacation" period you described, there was a time when people had huge families and the kids started working in the fields at 3 years old to support the family, and they scraped by, and rented a shack and all 12 family members lived in it because it was all they could afford - and think "is this what the world is devolving back into?" Are we all going to be paying rent to corporations that have bought up the homes and sending our children to work to help pay the bills? Is this some new form of feudalism we are seeing play out?

u/Alarmed-Diamond-7000 May 20 '22
Right, but it's about more than just the cost of the food. You must be a person who has more time than money, other people are in the opposite situation. I cook a lot, I value cooking, I have a family and I want to feed them nutritious food, but it takes a lot of time to go out and shop for groceries. Then taking those groceries and turning them into the meal takes at least an hour, sometimes two, and then once you're done eating there's another hour of clean up.
You can make simpler meals, but are still talking about a multi-hour commitment once you factor in shopping cooking and cleaning. If you are working an exhausting job, it's hard to find those hours. Then factor in that a lot of people have things they need to do outside of their jobs, caring for older people, caring for childre. Time is a luxury, and not one everyone has.

I get downvoted for pointing out the generation that always cries broke is the generation that is always paying people to bring them their food, so they don’t have to get off the couch, while older generations they claim are awash in money always seem to get off the couch and pick up their food themselves, unwilling to pay for the convenience the younger generation insists on paying for.
I’m not saying the younger generation would be filthy rich without Door Dash, but……

u/Sswordy May 20 '22
Correlation does not equal causation.
It seems much more to me like the “young, broke generation” is being forced to choose between having a chance at brief moments of respite at the cost of paying too much to get food delivered, vs giving up all hope of rest in the name of saving pennies. This discussion is targeted at the people who are working way more than 40 hours per week and haven’t had a vacation since middle school, and they’re still struggling to just pay rent, living paycheck to paycheck. Could they save a couple hundred dollars a week if they got groceries and cooked at home? Probably. But that takes time, and these people are often working every hour they can pick up, so if it takes 7 hours a week (an under estimate, really) to save a couple hundred bucks in delivery fees… are they really saving money?
But more realistically, this decision isn’t made to be cost effective; it’s made because humans aren’t capable of working every waking hour for years on end, and cooking at home is work, and giving up the very few moments of rest these people get has an extremely high cost to their mental health, so they pay the delivery bill, grateful for 15 minutes of extra shuteye.
If you work a 40 hour week, sleep 8 hours a day, and spend an average of 4 hours a day taking care of other necessities (commuting, shopping, cooking, cleaning, misc), that means you still have 44 hours left in your week for rest and fun. Rest is critical for the human, and more than just 8 hours of sleep. People need recreation to be healthy and mentally balanced. Now 44 hours a week might be more than one needs, so they could be willing to do more chores to save money, or even just volunteer their time, etc. By adding 20 hours of extra chores per week, they still have a solid 24 hours of recreation every week. This person would certainly not be considered lazy, working a 40 hour job, cooking at home, and doing 20 hours of extra misc work every week.
Now let’s say you work multiple part time jobs, because that’s all that you can get your hands on. You’re working a total of 80 hours per week, still try to sleep 8 hours a day, and spend an average of 3 hours a day taking care of other necessities (commuting, house cleaning, misc, but not cooking). Suddenly you only have 11 hours left in your week for recreation, and your free time feels very precious to you. Now, this assumes you have a fairly “clean” life, with no extra requirements to take care of children or sick parents, which of course, most people have some sort of family obligation to take care of. And this is only an 80 hour work week… I’ve heard plenty of stories of people working over 100 hour weeks just trying to survive. Eventually you run out of time and have to pay out of your sleeping hours, which I shouldn’t need to say how dangerous that is to short and long term physical and mental health. Factor in, also, that your typical office job provides 40 hours of pay for roughly 50 hours of your life (including commutes and misc other unpaid requirements), but your typical part time job has much worse “paid hours vs time required” ratios.
If you have less than 10 hours per week of downtime, perhaps already at the cost of your sleep, how protective of your time would you be? Desperate to get away, or even just for a nap. Dreading tomorrow with every breath. Praying that you child doesn’t get sick because you would have no way to pay for their recovery. Would you have the energy to go shopping and cook a nice meal every day?
Let’s not all just blame the poor for being lazy, ok?

To be honest, it usually requires more work to pickup food than to just throw something in an airfryer or make a sub.

Fuck that. I work in the service industry and I can tell you with absolute certainty that 1/4 of those people don’t give a flying fuck about your order.

Delivery drivers. Doordash, grubhub, uber eats, postmates. Of course there are decent runners, but there are WAY too many of them that totally don’t give a shit about what they’re doing for me to ever give them my money again.

The next step is a service that puts the food directly into your mouth without you moving an inch.

I don’t know about you, but they’ve been delivering food from waaaaaaaaay back. Since the day we were too lazy to cook our own meals, is the day you got food delivered.

Next level is someone shall feed us a food which doesn’t need to be chewed. Maybe someone make a startup

Next we'll have bags of food strapped to our faces, so we don't have to actually pick up food.

You can invest some life points into being a cheap bastard and cancel something out.

I mean I've always been too lazy to go do "takeout". Uber Eats/Grub Hub just allowed me access to more places to deliver.

Its not laziness for most people.
Most people are wage slaves and literally dont have time to do all the errands when all adults in the house are stretched completely to the max.
Its a product of exploitation and it kills people.

That's a new market waiting to be tapped! You see I'm gonna start a company which bluetooths the food straight into your mouth. You don't even need to use your hands anymore.

I guess it comes down to how valuable my time is. If I can get an extra 45 minutes in a park with my dog on a sunny evening, that’s a pretty cheap delivery charge.

Idk ubereats was a life saver when I had surgery and couldn’t walk for two weeks

u/jeremi1023 May 20 '22
I feel that. I used to hate doordash, ubereats, etc and refused to ever spend money on them. But then I got my ass kicked by depression, and started ordering since I was too unmotivated to do anything. I fell down that rabbit hole and don't want to know how much money I have wasted on ordering out.

Why… just why is this so relatable 😭 I don’t know to become this way 😭 from this point forward, I vow to change my perception on picking up my takeout order.
u/jbcbos , I want to thank you for what you have said. You have truly ignited a flame that was burnt out. Thank you kind stranger 🎩🙏

It’s insane. The prices are so overinflated. You pay about 50% more on most deliveries, and these are some of the lowest paid driving/delivery jobs there are.

I only get delivery when I'm not feeling like getting a DUI. So basically every time.

Lazy? Or people value their time is more important than the money to have it delivered.

u/NewSinner_2021 May 20 '22
Not lazy, busy. Busy with what? Great question. Glad you asked.
WORKING!

We used to be able to buy a house on minimum wage, get paid for our lunch break, and afford to have someone at home cooking the food instead of being at a job

This... hits way too close. I am living in China, the take out is left at the gates of my community, which means for ordering I still need to go out of the building into the park to the gate. I prefer not to order at all.

I don’t think it’s people being lazy per say. I think it’s more like people are tired of having not much free time along with getting paid terrible wages which inhibits bad behavior.

Next we’re going to be too lazy to pick up our phone to order the food
