Reply to comment by being_igor in MFs want me to go to Ridgewood for $4 😭 by munchingzia

I ordered Starbucks delivered once during the pandemic, but felt weird just getting a coffee, so I also got an iced coffee, two food things (bfast, and lunch) and a pound of coffee to make it $30, and i left a 10 dollar tip (it's a mile away).

This isn't medication, or even groceries. It's overpriced coffee, a luxury item we buy with our disposable income. An actual human is spending gas, time, and wear and tear on their car. Even with a 30% tip, it's costing them money to deliver it.

That’s the job, though. And on top of everything, they don’t even have to accept so all your points are moot.

I was agreeing with you. And from what I've been told, some of these delivery services don't tell you what the order is until you've accepted it. If you reject too many times, your account gets frozen for a period of time.

My bad, sorry if I misunderstood. I think we’re also on the same page that it’s not an easy job. I’m just confused regarding all the criticisms of the customer ordering a coffee. That’s the service…any other nonsense that happens outside of that has nothing to do with the customer 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, I think someone could make a killing with a coffee truck that roams neighborhoods like an ice cream truck.
