Yes there is an alternative, you don’t use delivery services. It is just a big dumb waste of money.
I pick up all my own food, have never used any of the 3rd party food delivery ripoffs
Tbf, not everyone has a car. I mean, cooking ramen at home and saving up for a car would be a better use of your money, but then people like whoever replies to this that are ideologically opposed to cars would rather have someone else with a car deliver it so they can disconnect themselves from that reality.
Fwiw I also always pick up, I was a delivery driver for 10yr, I can take one more run (to myself).
If you’re buying ramen you’re wasting your money. Cook food at home with actual food.
I don’t have a car and I cook just fine at home.
Edit. If your only options for food is ordering or ramen… Idk what to tell you. You’re in for a rough life ahead of you.
“Ramen” while being a specific food is also colloquially used to refer to “inexpensive food” as a package of ramen is about 10 cents. The above comment was not an advertisement for “Maruchan® Brand Instant Ramen Noodles available in many delicious flavours.”
That’s great. My time is worth less than theses crazy prices and I work better if I get something to eat and this is faster than getting the very limited and terrible food at work. Do I feel like the prices are insane? Yep. But it’s a value call and since there isn’t another option that allows for good quality food quickly, they get my money. This didn’t used to exist and that sucked, so maybe we are just undervaluing how great this is. Would be greater not paying $60 for lunch though, so yeah, I’m gonna keep paying and grumbling about it at the same time. I really hope drone services take off soon and have better pricing.
