Christ sakes, I must be a boomer. I've survived without international students bringing me food, and still will. I honestly don't understand why anyone needs these services unless they are on the piss.
Do you live in a domicile that doesn't really have a kitchen? An increasing number of people do.
Do you work a job with shitty near unreasonable hours? Or indeed mutliple jobs? An increasing number of people do.
Sure these services are a convenience but more and more people are coming to actually rely on these services because of their suboptimal living situations.
How are living arrangements being allowed to be built without meal preparation facilities? We aren't New York or London.
Also, for the rest, it seems like a more a Yank than rest of the world problem.if you're inner city Melbourne and you can't find healthy eats close by at 5-11pm near you, you aren't trying.
