I prefer that my food is handled by the minimum amount of people before it gets to me. Also I'm not interested in supporting such an exploiting business model.

My theory on delivery drivers is that they might get paid shit wages but their families are eating well.

If their families are eating well, that means the customers are not.

Something doesn't jive in that equation.

When I hear that the food has been picked up by a driver but then never delivered. The customer then gets their money back. Someone gets that meal.

Iโ€™ve found wrong deliveries on the doorstep when I leave in the morning several times. Straight to the bin. 12 hour old Maccas chips do not appeal.
