As a pizza delivery driver, hitting a kid is my #1 fear. And Halloween is usually our 2nd busiest day of the year, so I'm driving through dozens of neighborhoods trying to deliver food on time while also dodging kids on every street. Shit is stressful.

I think all places that deliver should make Halloween a "no penalty or freebies for being late" day. Y'all should be able to go as slow as you want to keep everyone safe, and I'll eat cold fries without complaining.

Penalty and freebies?

Oh you fancy americans. Here in Sweden food gets delivered to your house lukewarm, most of the time you have to go outside to meet the delivery guy, he is too lazy to go to your door.

All this for a premium markup on anything you are buying. Aaaah the beauty of home delivery here.
